These three teams are starting to stand out as potential playoff candidates/dark horses. They are the ONLY teams in the top15 that are 3-0 without any one score games. Three weeks in and you cant put Bama, Georgia, Ohio State or Clemson in that category. You actually cant put any team thats ever been to the playoffs in that category, besides Sparty.
These are the teams that you need to keep an eye on. Iowa still has its big ten west schedule and Penn State, ole miss still has to play the SEC West so A&M, bama, arkansas (also 3-0 by more than a TD...who knew?), and possibly a win-starved lsu. Cincy still has ND and then a bunch of cupcakes graciously provided by their soon to be ex conference.
2021 shaping out to be an interesting season outside of Columbus, Ohio
