It's Week 3 of the 2017 college football season and it promises entertainment, per usual.
The two big games in terms of matchups are Tennessee's visit to Florida and Lamar Jackson's Louisville Cardinals hosting defending champion Clemson.

The Vols come into the game having shown balance in their first two contests, including a season-opening Georgia Tech.barburner versus Georgia Tech. Quinten Dormady has completed 60 percent of his passes for 415 yards and four touchdowns while committing just one turnover.
The Vols' running game is led by John Kelly, who has 37 carries for 208 yards and four touchdowns.
Dormady's top target has been Kelly with 10 catches, but Marquez Callaway has five grabs for 152 yards and three touchdowns, including a 50-yard score.
Florida struggled mightily on offense versus Michigan Week 1 and allowed six sacks, but Tennessee has yet to put together a pass rush, collecting just one sack, despite Week 2 being versus Indiana State.
The Big Question
The Gators need better productions from their running game and more consistent quarterback play if they want to win at home over Tennessee. I'm not sure they have it together yet.
PICK: Tennessee 27-20[divider]

A year ago in Clemson's 42-36 win over the Cardinals, Lamar Jackson totaled 457 total yards and four scores, The Tigers' defense, albeit with a lot of new starters, appears to be up for te task. Jackson seems ready to take it another step, too, however.
Kelly Bryant has shown flashes of brilliance taking over for Deshaun Watson and has the Tigers offense flying to the tune of more than 450 yards of total offense per week.
The Big Question
Can the Louisville supporting cast make enough big plays on both sides of the ball?
PICK: Clemson 31-27[divider]
