College football SP+ rankings after Week 3

Week 3 of the college football season was a bit odd. At the top, almost nothing changed. Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State all looked the parts of top-three teams, and both Oklahoma and Michigan made resounding statements against overwhelmed competition (Nebraska and UConn, respectively). Ole Miss, an SP+ favorite, continued to back up its lofty ratings, and Clemson continued to win comfortably while looking as average as humanly possible on offense. Tennessee and Oklahoma State looked great on offense, Texas A&M and Iowa looked great on defense, and the world kept spinning on its axis.

Beneath the surface, however, were some pretty jarring results.
