Week 3 delivered for college football fans in every way possible. There were upsets, crazy plays and wild finishes throughout the day on Saturday.
Georgia Tech got things started early with a stunner in Atlanta, beating No. 12 Clemson on a last-second 55-yard field goal by Aidan Birr. Elsewhere in the early window, No. 19 Alabama throttled Wisconsin in a blowout.

Later on, No. 15 Tennessee could have ended its streak of losses to No. 6 Georgia, but a missed kick at the end of regulation sent the game to overtime, and then the Bulldogs ended things on a short Nate Frazier TD run to extend their streak in the rivalry to nine games.
Then Vanderbilt knocked off a LaNorris Sellers-less South Carolina team and No. 3 LSU took care of business against bitter rival Florida after several kerfuffles before and during the game (and one play that floored Tigers coach Brian Kelly).
In the nightcap, No. 16 Texas A&M overcame No. 8 Notre Dame in a thrilling late victory for Mike Elko and the Aggies.
