Predictions for every FBS game in Week 3
College football’s 2018 season continues with a busy Week 3 slate that features 67 overall matchups. Hurricane Florence has forced the cancellation of a couple of contests (UCF-North Carolina, NC State-West Virginia and Virginia Tech-East Carolina), with the Coastal Carolina-Campbell game moving to Wednesday, and Wake Forest-Boston College moving up its start time by a couple of hours on Thursday. Additionally, Virginia and Ohio moved their Saturday contest to Nashville. The matchup between the Eagles and Demon Deacons is the must-see game for Thursday, with the weekly slate continuing on Friday night with Georgia State visiting Memphis. A full schedule is on tap for Saturday. Oklahoma-Iowa State, Miami-Toledo, Florida State-Syracuse and Hawaii-Army headline the must-see matchups from the first window of games. The afternoon slate features a SEC showdown between LSU and Auburn, Boise State visiting Oklahoma State, Duke-Baylor and Houston at Texas Tech. A busy night schedule includes Alabama at Ole Miss, Missouri at Purdue, Ohio State-TCU in Arlington and USC at Texas. Washington at Utah, Fresno State at UCLA and Arizona State at San Diego State headline the late-night must-see matchups for Week 3.
