Despite a lack of marquee games on the Week 3 schedule, college football still provided us some absolute beauties throughout the day.
The game of the weekend was Alabama needing a fourth-quarter two-point conversion stop to drain the Swamp and hold off Florida 31-29 in a game that showed plenty of cracks in the crimson armor. The other Iron Bowl participant, Auburn, took Penn State to the brink in Happy Valley before losing 28-20.
Contenders Oklahoma and Clemson won closer-than-expected nail-biters while pretenders like Virginia Tech and early-season darling UCLA wilted.
As always Bleacher Report's college football brain trust—David Kenyon, Adam Kramer, Kerry Miller, Morgan Moriarty and Brad Shepard—tried to make sense of it all, casting a ballot after the Week 3 results.
