Week 3 Recap:
Losses by Ohio State and Alabama set off this week's new Top 25 rankings, where Ohio State fell to the #11 spot since they only lost to Florida while Alabama fell all the way from #6 to #21 thanks to a huge upset by Texas Tech. Georgia and North Carolina moved up into the top ten thanks to the two big losses, though TCU and BYU both dropped out of the Top 25 on the other end of the spectrum. That allowed Minnesota and Florida State to get into the Top 25 for the time being.
This week's Heisman Watch features a few changes, which the biggest is Sam Acho's debut in the watch at the #3 spot since he's the LE from Texas with eight sacks last week. That dropped McCoy to the #4 spot and allowed Michael Moore, WR from Georgia, to also debut after a big game against South Carolina last week. The biggest performance of the week has to be Sam Acho's performance, which also pushed a big game from Colt McCoy out of the limelight.
This week's National Player of the Week spotlight is dominated by the Longhorns, with Colt McCoy earning the Offense award and Sam Acho taking the Defense award. By default, those two also took home SEC honors in their respective sides of the ball.
There are quite a few big games this week, especially within the SEC. Mid-ranked Georgia Tech and Rutgers get it on this week in the early Thursday night slot. Early on Saturday, LSU tries to crush Notre Dame's hopes of being ranked anytime soon along with a big match-up of ranked teams from Florida between Florida and South Florida. The biggest game of all happens late Saturday as #4 USC heads to Austin to take on the #2 Texas, who have been dominate so far this season.
