Week 3 College Football Review - Blue Collar Sports Podcast

College Football Week 3 delivered chaos! On Episode 23 of the Blue Collar Sports Podcast, we’re breaking down the biggest games, upsets, performances, and questions coming out of another wild weekend of college football.

We start with our Game of the Week: #7 LSU vs. #8 Ole Miss. Is Trinidad Chambliss putting together a Heisman-caliber season? How much did Ole Miss prove while playing without a healthy Kewan Lacy? We also discuss Sam Leavitt’s performance and Lane Kiffin following the loss.

Then we hit the rest of the Week 3 slate. #22 Houston nearly knocked off #13 Texas Tech, 28-26, after jumping out to an early 10-0 lead—but turnovers proved costly. Is Houston still a legitimate Big 12 contender? We break down Vanderbilt’s 35-31 win over NC State, Jared Curtis’ first career start, and what happened with CJ Bailey. We also look at #24 Oklahoma’s 14-6 win over New Mexico and ask whether John Mateer and the Sooners are ready to compete in the SEC.

One of the biggest results came with Kentucky’s 31-21 win over #9 Texas A&M. What’s going wrong for Marcel Reed and the Aggies, and could Kenny Minchey have Kentucky ready to make some noise in the SEC? We also discuss #23 Louisville’s 41-31 win over #16 SMU and whether the Cardinals can make a run at the ACC behind Lincoln Kienholz.

Plus, we break down Virginia vs. West Virginia, including a huge performance from Michael Hawkins Jr., and discuss what the result means for both programs. We also talk Florida vs. Auburn and what Florida’s win could mean heading into its matchup with Ole Miss.

Finally, we reveal the latest BCS Top 25 College Football Rankings! Texas remains at #1, followed by Georgia, Ole Miss, Miami and Notre Dame in our Top 5. Texas Tech climbs into the Top 10, LSU sits at #11, Louisville comes in at #17, and West Virginia and Houston round out the rankings at #24 and #25.
