Biggest winners and losers from College Football Week 3
College Football Week 3 winner: Missouri
Missouri notched one of the biggest wins on Saturday as they knocked off 15th-ranked Kansas State at home.
The game was tied in the fourth quarter and Missouri was driving to get into field goal range when a delay of game pushed the ball from the 39 to the 44. That meant a 61-yard field goal — the longest in the SEC.
However, Harrison Mevis drilled the 61-yarder with room to spare, giving head coach Eli Drinkwitz a defining win. Missouri is also 3-0.
College Football Week 3 loser: SEC chances of two playoff teams
Missouri got an upset win, however, the loss by Tennessee means that the SEC has just two unbeaten teams right now: Georgia and Ole Miss.
Tennessee was supposed to be the second-best team and was dominated by a Florida team that got beaten soundly by Utah from the Pac-12. Just saying. Vanderbilt also lost to UNLV, while Arkansas suffered a 38-31 loss to Arkansas.
Georgia was even down 11 at the half to South Carolina before rallying for the win. Flat out, Alabama looked terrible in its 17-3 win over South Florida. Tyler Buchner was benched. Ty Simpson also didn’t lock down the position, so the Tide have work to do.
The SEC does too and the league is looking less and less dominant this season. BYU knocked off Arkansas. UNLV even beat Vanderbilt. Georgia is good but after that, the league is filled with question marks, which includes Alabama.
