"Week 3 of the 2025 season basically smacked us in the face with them. Whether you considered Texas A&M-Notre Dame or Georgia-Tennessee the biggest game of the week, it didn't matter -- they both went down to the wire with quarterback heroics and special teams heartbreaks. And two of the sport's wildest rivalries, Pitt-West Virginia and Ole Miss-Arkansas, both gave us classics too."
"After two straight wild weekends, 39 FBS teams remain unbeaten. Obviously some of those teams have more blemishes and weaknesses than others, but until you lose, you haven't lost! SP+ projects an average of 0.95 of these teams reaching 12-0 -- it might as well be your team! All 39 of these teams are playoff contenders as long as their loss column zeros remain. As has become tradition at this point, let's rank all the remaining unbeaten teams three weeks into the season."
Week 3 produced multiple dramatic, close games, including Texas A&M-Notre Dame and Georgia-Tennessee, plus classics in Pitt-West Virginia and Ole Miss-Arkansas, a Division III Hail Mary, and shocking HBCU endings. After two straight wild weekends, 39 FBS teams remain unbeaten, though many carry blemishes and weaknesses. SP+ projects an average of 0.95 of those teams reaching 12-0, and each unbeaten squad remains a playoff contender while undefeated. The remaining unbeaten teams are ranked three weeks into the season. Oregon defeated Northwestern 34-14, overcoming long drives while maintaining control across three dominant games.
