Week three gives the Group of Five a chance to shift the narrative

For as long as I can remember there’s been a ton of group of five vs power five games early in the college football season (even with the Big East was a thing.) You would get your occasional “upset” here and there but things would usually go chalk and then everyone moves on to their conference play.

This season feels a little different though doesn’t it? Even though we’ve already had some upsets in that vain this season, this is the weekend I’ve had circled for about 4 months now. As we all do in the dog days of summer we tend to look ahead at the weekly schedules to see if they’re amazing or if they are sleepy and as a writer for this site I kept coming back to Week three.
