The Week 3 schedule was littered with potential upset opportunities, but none of the underdogs were able to seal the deal.

Going on the road in the SEC is never easy, even for the No. 1 team in the country, and Kentucky put a legitimate scare into Georgia, The Wildcats led 6-3 at halftime and carried a 9-6 lead into the fourth quarter before the Bulldogs finally found the end zone for the first time with 12:20 left to play. Kentucky kept it interesting with a field goal on its ensuing drive, but they couldn’t get the big stop they needed to regain control.

Elsewhere in the SEC, South Carolina built an early 17-0 lead over No. 16 LSU and still held a 33-29 lead into the fourth quarter. It was an ugly game for the Tigers, but a late touchdown from Josh Williams and a missed 49-yard field goal attempt by the Gamecocks with five seconds left allowed LSU to escape with a 36-33 victory.

An upstart Boston College team also hung around with Missouri in what turned out to be a 27-21 game, but once again the SEC favorite avoided the upset.

Heading into the weekend, Alabama at Wisconsin and Oregon at Oregon State both looked like potentially tough road games, but the two favorites ended up winning by a combined 67 points. Tulane also failed to come away with a potential resume builder against Oklahoma after hanging around with Kansas State a week ago.

The stage was set for a major upset, but the ranked team managed to escape unscathed time and time again in Week 3.
