Week 3 brings several ranked vs. ranked college football matchups. Which teams should be on high alert for being upset?

We are cruising right along into mid-September of the college football season. There are some good matchups this week, some on the national radar and some undervalued games that have the potential to be good.

After a good start to the season on picking three out of five upsets in Week 1, we were skunked last week. Georgia, Mississippi State, Stanford and Iowa all had comfortable wins. We were right to put Clemson on upset alert against Texas A&M, but they survived in the end.

We missed the picks, but shout out to Arizona State and Kentucky on their upset wins over Michigan State and Florida, respectively.

This week we are looking to do better. The betting lines, provided by Oddshark, are all close this week at 10 points or less. But given the nature of some of the picks (i.e. traditional powerhouse versus off the radar team), they should still be considered upset picks. Plus, there is one pick so unreal you will just have to read to believe it.

Without further adieu, here are the upset picks for Week 3.
