Buffalo Rumblings
Week Three of the college football season offers a bevy of fascinating matchups with inter- and intra-conference games. Much of the slate this week is must-watch fodder for college football fans looking to parse who is rising to the top of headlines throughout the rest of the 2025 season.
Saturday’s ranked matchups begin with a conference game, as No. 6 Georgia travels to Knoxville for a date with the Volunteers in Tennessee. Both teams are starting a new quarterback in 2025, with the Bulldogs giving the keys to home-grown signal caller Gunner Stockton and Tennessee going with transfer Joey Aguilar. Georgia is a narrow 3.5-point favorite in the contest.
One of the Cinderella stories of the 2025 season so far has been the South Florida Bulls. USF knocked off Boise State in convincing fashion for their first win of the season. They followed that up with the story of a week ago by going to Gainesville and beating Florida on their home turf. That earned them their ranking as the No. 18 team in the country. It’s been an impressive run for the Bulls, but it’s not over yet. They go to Miami to take on the No. 5-ranked Hurricanes this weekend. They are once again three-score underdogs to an uber-talented Miami team. But, we’ve seen in recent years that the ‘Canes are susceptible to an upset.
The nightcap for the ranked matchups is a massive non-conference game, with one-loss No. 8 Notre Dame playing host to No. 16 Texas A&M. The Aggies haven’t had much of a test to date, with a bit of a soft schedule out of the gate. Notre Dame, playing with a new quarterback in C.J. Carr, already dropped their first game of the year to Miami. Carr certainly looked like a quarterback in his first game for the Irish. The Aggies have a revamped defense and wide receiver corps they’ve been working in over the first couple of weeks.
There are several matchups across the landscape to keep our eyes on this weekend with plenty of action between Power 4 teams. Let us know who you’re watching in week three of the season in the comments below.
One of the best traits-based quarterbacks in the country plays his ball for the Razorbacks. Height, weight, speed, and arm talent are all part of Green’s repertoire that meshes well, and it could cause an upset in Oxford this weekend. Green is off to a hot start and looking to make his mark on the 2026 quarterback class.
One of the more athletic and versatile defensive players in the country is Perkins for the Rebels. He’s a former five-star who will project off the ball in the NFL with plenty of ability to blitz and disrupt the passer. He had 10.5 sacks in 2024. He’s been quiet through two games, but this is a major showcase opportunity as two of the best players on their...
