Alabama-Arkansas was supposed to headline* this week's college football schedule, but Florida-Tennessee and Notre Dame-Michigan State have stepped up to fill the gap. Also, join the rest of our live Saturday coverage right here.

College football, now with stakes! After a week that had us hoping for (and getting) upsets, Week 3 just comes right out and says it: somebody's dreams are getting crushed this week.

Three games feature ranked-on-ranked action (Florida-Tennessee, Notre Dame-Michigan State and USC-Stanford), with another five ranked teams playing road games.

Rivalry intrigue abounds as well, with one of the final annual editions of the BYU-Utah Holy War leading the way.

Also, check out TCU playing Kansas in its first-ever Big 12 game. The Frogs should cruise (Mizzou's T.J. Moe seems excited about what's coming KU's way), but the matchup still makes for a huge moment for longsuffering TCU fans.

Many other things are also happening! The complete Week 3 TV schedule below

* I would say, "Don't bet against Arkansas, though," but you should know by now to never bet on anything involving John L. Smith anyway.
