Week 3 of the 2020 college football season is now officially in the books after nine games were played on Saturday. With the Southeastern Conference starting next weekend and the Big Ten looking to join the dance a little bit later, things have been busy in the polls and rankings.
There are many out there offering their personal polls — some with better takes than others — including Stadium Network’s Brett McMurphy, their resident college football insider. McMurphy has one of the most bullish assessments of the Florida Gators to date, placing them at third in his poll behind the Clemson Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Joining Florida in the top-5 are the Oklahoma Sooners and LSU Tigers, the latter giving the SEC three of the top-5 schools in the rankings. The Georgia Bulldogs come in at No. 6 with Texas A&M at No. 9 to round out the five SEC teams in the top-10.
The Auburn Tigers are at No. 11, while Tennessee trails behind at No. 14 and Kentucky takes up the rear at No. 21 — the last of the eight SEC mentions in the top-25.
