What a week for college football we have ahead of us! There are five Top 25 matchups this week according to SP+, seven according to Sagarin, and six according to the human pollsters who for some reason view Colorado as a Top 25 team after last weekend. Those matchups aren’t all overlaps, either, so good games are abound.
The fun starts Thursday night with some Fun Belt action featuring an undefeated Georgia State squad (they haven’t really played anybody yet) playing at Coastal Carolina (only loss is at UCLA) and old friend Tim Beck. Coastal is the rightful favorite, but Darren Grainger has been lethal at QB for the Panthers, and they have plenty of big play weapons, including both leading receivers averaging over 20 yards/catch and Georgia State’s starting RB has 7 TDs in three games.
