College Football PRS Rankings Week 3: FBS

With the week 3 slate now closed, we can now unveil our Week 3 PRS Rankings for FBS football. Louisville had a huge win at home last Saturday, beating Florida State 63-20. With that, the Cardinals remain number one overall this week for the second consecutive week. Louisville is holding onto a 25 point lead over another team that has played dominant football early in Ohio State. Alabama escaped Oxford with a win this week, and comes in 3rd, 61 points behind the leader. Army, largely the most shocking football team going right now, comes in 4th, while Michigan rounds out the top five after a tough early challenge by Colorado. Michigan has yet to play on the road this season. Nebraska, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Florida, and Tennessee round out the top 10.
