(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki) The college football season enters its third week of action for most NCAA schools around the country. While New York residents are unable to place wagers on teams that reside in-state, there is still plenty of opportunity to find some football action in an exciting top 25 schedule this weekend. There are three games between ranked competitors, an in-state rivalry, and a viral moment that will likely be meaningless in the end. Let's check out the five interesting choices on the NCAA college football slate in Week 3."
"While more of a rivalry on the hardwood than the gridiron, any time in-state rivals clash has the potential to produce an epic contest. Indiana claimed the most recent contest, a 41-7 win in 2023, and owns a 7-1 record in the record books. The Hoosiers have averaged 41.5 points-per-game (ppg) in their two wins, while the Sycamores has averaged nearly 40 ppg in 2025. Indiana is strongly favored with a 99% expected win percentage according to ESPN Analytics."
"Temple was stomped by Oklahoma in a 47-point loss in Norman, Oklahoma in 2024. Prior to a press conference with OU head coach Brent Venables, some local beat reporters talked down the upcoming trip and questioned the Sooners traveling to play in a half-empty NFL stadium. Temple's sideline boss K.C. Keeler is trying to use this situation as motivation to fire up his squad against a superior football team when he spoke to the media earlier this week."
Baker Mayfield received a statue dedication outside Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium during Oklahoma's spring game. The college football season enters Week 3 for most NCAA programs with a top-25 schedule that includes three games between ranked teams, an in-state rivalry, and viral moments that may not impact final outcomes. New York residents cannot place wagers on in-state teams, but widespread betting opportunities remain. Friday features Indiana State at No. 22 Indiana, with Indiana averaging 41.5 points per game and a 99% expected win probability. Saturday features No. 13 Oklahoma at Temple in Philadelphia, with Temple aiming to respond after a heavy 2024 defeat.
