NCAA Football - Week 3 Predictions

Ringer's Record
Last Week ATS: 10-13
Last Week SU: 18-5

Season ATS: 19-25 (43%)
Season SU: 39-5 (89%)

Last week brought about the first upsets of the year which caused some shake ups in the polls. The biggest one of all came when Arkansas fell to Louisiana-Monroe. The Razorbacks took a steep fall all the way out of the polls heading into a showdown with top ranked Alabama. There are bound to be more upsets this week. I need to pick them right after another sub .500 week left me at 19-15 against the spread this year. Don't expect me to stay down too long. This is the week I bounce back. Here is a look at how I expect Week 3 of the college football season to play out (Rankings based on the Ringer Poll).
