After an eventful early September Saturday, including the much-talked-about Michigan victory over Notre Dame, it’s on to week 3 of the 2010 college football season. Week two gave us some pretty good games and some monumental upsets (James Madison defeating Virginia Tech) that could have far-reaching impact on the BCS down the road.
Week 3 is the beginning of the middle, and best part, of the college football season. It’s the week when more teams start playing more competitive games.
