The Week 3 schedule for the 2023 college football season is not particularly electric or amazing. This is one of those weeks in which interesting games are going to emerge from unexpected sources. The weeks when everything seems chalky and predictable are often the weeks when all heck breaks loose, but the magic in all of this is that you don’t know which game will create the unexpected chaos.
One obvious note about the Week 3 schedule in college football is that USC won’t be part of it. The Trojans will rest up for the challenging, demanding nine-week gauntlet they are about to enter. That’s right: USC will play on nine straight weekends from September 23 through November 18. The Trojans will need to conserve their energy and be as efficient as they reasonably can if they want to reach the Pac-12 Championship Game and contend for the College Football Playoff.
This weekend, USC will kick back, relax, and watch other teams play college football. You can, too.
