In Week 2, the “Under-the-Radar” college football games were better than expected. Here are the games in Week 3 that should be receiving more attention.

By Week 3, the college football season is fully underway. We now have a solid grasp of who’s who in the zoo, who is looks unstoppable, and who is barely squeaking by. And with that, we all know which games need to be watched in order to update our understanding of the top 25 teams.

For example, No. 12 LSU traveling to No. 7 Auburn is the biggest SEC battle thus far in the year. If we see a close game, like that of Auburn versus Washington in Week 1, we will have to assume both teams are good. However, if one team stands out, we will learn a lot about both teams.

Additionally, No.17 Boise State heads to Stillwater to take on the No. 24 Oklahoma State Cowboys. Boise State will make huge waves if they can travel to a Big 12 powerhouse and win. On the other hand, the Oklahoma State will ruin the Broncos hopes of an undefeated season and a bid for the College Football playoff from a Group 5 team.

And of course, there’s No. 4 Ohio State playing No. 15 TCU at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Can the Buckeyes continue their offensive dominance against a quality opponent? We will soon find out.

However, these are the games that may have large impacts on the college football world, but might not be on your radar.
