    College Football Week 3 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Scoreboard, and Betting Lines 2024

    By College Football News,

    14 hours ago

    Week 3 brings the first weekend without all the FCS games - there are about 20 fewer games than there were over each of the first two weekends - and that means we get slightly better matchups overall, but ...

    There aren't a slew of killer games. However, there are just enough conference matchups - and a few other nice showdowns - to make this interesting.

    Below is the schedule for each conference along with the game previews, coming throughout the week, betting lines, and how to watch each matchup.
