With the first three weeks of college football action firmly in the rearview mirror, we are shifting our sights to Week 3. There are plenty of games to keep an eye on, especially after what has transpired to begin the season.
Appalachian State gave North Carolina all it could handle and then defeated Texas A&M in College Station. They made the list again this week, after their victory over the Aggies ESPN announced that College Game Day will head to Boone for their matchup with Troy.
With that being said let’s dive into this week’s list of intriguing matchups in college football.
Honorable Mention:
Kansas Jayhawks at Houston Cougars
It isn’t very often that the Kansas Jayhawks are featured in a list of intriguing games but this isn’t your typical Big 12 basement dweller. They are coming off a huge road victory over West Virginia. On the flip side, the Houston Cougars are coming off a demoralizing double-overtime loss at Texas Tech where they needed to stop the Red Raiders on 4th and 20 to win the game. It didn’t happen. Can Houston win this contest and avoid a third-straight game going to the extra period?
Florida State Seminoles at Louisville Cardinals
This game features a pair of head coaches that appeared on multiple hot seat coaching lists to begin the season. Florida State’s Mike Norvell and Louisville’s Scott Satterfield are looking to quiet the noise in this game. FSU shocked many when they defeated LSU in New Orleans and Louisville is coming off the 20-14 win over Central Florida. The Seminoles have had two weeks to prepare, so who shines brightest under the ‘Friday Night Lights’?
