College Football Week 3 Recap: Three and Out [1]

Notre Dame's Brian Kelly picked up his signature victory this week

The day in college football Saturday began with an upset no one saw coming when Pittsburgh, a team that looked like a mess against Youngstown State and Cincinnati, was dominant on both sides of the ball against Virginia Tech.

College Football Week 3 Preview: Match-Ups, Upset Picks and Storylines to Watch [20]

Athlon previews college football's Week 3 action.

College football [32]'s Week 3 slate is full of interesting action. Arkansas had a surprising defeat to Louisiana-Monroe last week but has a chance to knock off No. 1 Alabama this Saturday. The Razorbacks are heavy underdogs and could be without starting quarterback Tyler Wilson. The action in the SEC isn't limited to Arkansas-Alabama, as Florida-Tennessee meet in Knoxville for a crucial East Division showdown.

College Football's Top 20 Coaches on the Hot Seat: Post-Week 2 Rankings [33]

California's Jeff Tedford ranks in the top 10 of this week's coaches on the hot seat.

Week 2 of the 2012 college football [32] season is in the books and plenty of coaches saw the temperature on their seat increase by a few degrees. Kentucky's Joker Phillips and Boston College's Frank Spaziani won last Saturday, but both coaches rank as the top two on the hot seat going into Week 3. Auburn's Gene Chizik and Iowa's Kirk Ferentz are ranked for the first time in 2012, while Arkansas' John L. Smith makes an appearance after the Hogs' stunning overtime home loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

Athlon runs down the bowl projections following the Week 2 action.

College football [32]'s bowl season is still a few months away, but it's never too early to take a look at what the matchups might look like. With only two weeks of results in the books, it's hard to make long-term projections about teams, especially with several teams still playing overmatched non-conference games.

College Football: BCS Crasher Stock Report [56]

Louisiana-Monroe's Kolton Browning is seeking a second SEC win

Last week’s BCS crashers probably won’t make a run at a major bowl game this season, but two of them crashed the expectations for power-conference teams.

Louisiana-Monroe scored a rare Sun Belt win over an SEC team, and not just a rebuilding SEC program, as happens every now and then. The Warhawks overwhelmed, at least on offense, an SEC team that fancied itself a West Division and BCS contender. Those hopes may be over for Arkansas.

College Football's Top 10 Surprises After Two Weeks [66]

Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas is off to a ridiculous start.

Only two weeks of the 2012 college football season are in the books, but there has been plenty of action so far. After two weeks, Athlon runs down 10 surprises, including Pac-12 teams UCLA, Arizona and Oregon State. There's still plenty of time for our opinion to change on these teams/players/units over the next few weeks, but here are 10 things that caught our attention through two games.

College Football Week 2 Recap: Three and Out [74]

Georgia's Jarvis Jones was one of the stars of Week 2

The first week of the season vaulted Alabama to the No. 1 spot in the polls (much to Nick Saban’s disappointment) while at the same time knocking Michigan down a few pegs.

Beyond those two teams, it was a relatively quiet first week of the season.

Can Tyler Russell lead Mississippi State to a win over Auburn?

Week 2 of the college football [32] season doesn't feature many marquee matchups, but there's plenty of intrigue around the nation this Saturday. The SEC welcomes Texas A&M and Missouri, while a handful of non-conference games should help compensate for the lack of matchups between top 25 teams.

Athlon runs down the bowl projections following the Week 1 action.

College football [32]'s bowl season is still a few months away, but it's never too early to take a look at what the matchups might look like. With only one week of results in the books, it's hard to make long-term projections about teams. A team like Houston was expected to win Conference USA's West Division in the preseason but stumbled in the opener against Texas State. For now, the Cougars remain in our projections but that could change after Week 2.

Kentucky's Joker Phillips tops our hot seat watch after Week 1.

Week 1 of the college football [32] season is in the books and plenty of coaches are feeling the pressure to win. Kentucky showed some progress in the season opener against Louisville, but Joker Phillips passes Boston College's Frank Spaziani as the No. 1 coach on the hot seat. Some new names have joined the top 20, including Houston's Tony Levine and Colorado's Jon Embree.
