College Football 2021: Ranking the top 6 games of Week 3
By Shelbie Warr
Week 2 of college football brought with it some shocking upsets and many are hoping they will see more of that in Week 3. You know what they say, on any given Saturday anything can happen.
Now, what games should you be tuning into?
Let’s start in the SEC.
1. No. 1 Alabama at No. 11 Florida
A season ago this was the SEC title game and now it is a Week 3 matchup that many fans have been looking forward to. Of course, there will be no Kyle Pitts and Kyle Trask for Florida to lean on and we aren’t even sure there will be an Anthony Richardson to help save the day if Emory Jones lacks the ability to play this game at the level that Florida desires to play at.
On the other side, Alabama has blown out everyone that they have played so far. What does this game hold for us?
Pick: Alabama
2. No. 22 Auburn at No. 10 Penn State
Auburn has moved into the Top 25 after two opening wins, but honestly, neither of the wins are all that impressive. Akron and Alabama State? Yikes. Penn State on the other hand has a win over a ranked Wisconsin team and then a not that great Ball State team.
Will the environment give Penn State an advantage? I think so. Auburn can say that they play in big stadiums all the time, but that doesn’t change what Penn State can do inside a full stadium.
Pick: Penn State
