NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 3

Week 3 is complete and so are my rankings. Last week's #1, UCLA, lost to Memphis to fall all the way down to #28. Now at the top are Georgia, California, and Clemson. Georgia has the best possible strength of schedule, beating 3 teams that are all 2-1, but this week was an FCS opponent.

At the bottom of the table, the rankings remained remarkably stable this week, with #128-#130 going to Nevada, UTEP, and UMass once again. UMass may need someone to lose during their bye week to catch up to their 0-4 record.

As for my usual Missouri blurb, they lost 35-3. At least they were only outscored 7-0 in the second half, but that was probably as much to do with Purdue protecting a 25-point lead as it was any defensive adjustments. I'm no football expert, but I think they're going to need to score at least a touchdown to win most games.
