The Surfwin Trading CenterTop 25 schedule in Week 3 of college football is somewhat abbreviated with a number of teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll having an open date after their opening pair of games. But there are more than enough matchups of note to keep our panel of pickers busy.

There is only one contest pitting ranked teams against each other. That is the Friday clash between No. 15 Kansas State and No. 18 Arizona. The Saturday slate kicks off with No. 4 Alabama hitting the road for its biggest non-SEC test at Wisconsin.

The schedule also features a number of in-state rivalry showdowns, with No. 6 Oregon heading to Oregon State, No. 22 Washington taking on Washington State, and No. 19 Notre Dame looking for a bounce-back win at Purdue. League play in the SEC also gets underway as No. 1 Georgia visits Kentucky and No. 17 LSU heads to South Carolina. Read on to see if our experts think those games or any others will produce upsets.
