In this story:

There weren't any real big matchups in Week 3, but boy, there was some great action. 

Teams who were favored by a million (Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, and Texas) all struggled with inferior opponents but put them away when needed. While those four had their struggles, Ohio State and Washington had their coming out party after putting up a ton of points against Western Kentucky and Michigan State, respectively. 

When the AP Poll released Sunday afternoon, there wasn't much movement in the top 10, but that's bound to change this week with there being multiple top 25 matchups. 

Most college football personalities have their own take on rankings and on how things will play out. College Football Gameday personality and analyst, Kirk Herbstreit came out with his top eight on Sunday. 

Herbstreit usually shows his top four along with the next two, but on Sunday, he included 'the next three'. In his top four are: Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and Florida State. 

Then he has USC, Ohio State, and Washington right on their heels. 

Week 4 is pretty loaded with Ohio State taking on Notre Dame, Clemson taking on Florida State, Iowa vs. Penn State, and the high-flying Colorado Buffaloes taking on Oregon.
