College Football Week 3 Picks: Will Any Favorites Slip Up on the Road?

Week 3 isn't the most compelling college football slate on paper—but then again, many of our writers and editors didn't forsee teams like Cal, USC, Minnesota and Colorado all winning last weekend. Week 3 does treat us to some intruging non-conference matchups like Wake Forest–UNC (yes, this is actually happening as a non-conference game), TCU–Purdue and Iowa State–Iowa, and several ranked teams like Florida, Washington State, USC and Maryland hit the road in potentially tricky spots. Our staff picks for 13 of the weekend's biggest games are below. To see our picks for this week against the spread, click here.
