College football Week 3 betting tips: Can Florida upset Tennessee? - ESPN

Week 3 of the 2023 College Football season brings a new wave of fresh matchups as 24 of the AP-Top 25 teams are in action. The No. 3 Florida State Seminoles look to continue their strong start to the season against the Boston College Eagles at noon.

I'd also say Alabama at 22-to-1 to win the national title is a hard pass. No two-loss team has ever qualified for the playoff, and the Tide still have LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Tennessee remaining before a potential SEC championship game showdown with Georgia.
