College football Week 3 picks: Expert predictions and odds

Last week's college football games were unexpected. There is no marquee game this week. BYU took down No. 9 Baylor in double overtime. Jaren Hall has led the Cougars to wins over three ranked teams in the past two seasons. They play No 25 Oregon on Saturday afternoon. They also play a neutral-site game against Notre Dame and No 10 Arkansas. The team is looking to find its footing with a new coach and quarterback. It will be fascinating to see if they can beat any team left on their schedule.
