College Football Week 3 Schedule: TV and Live Stream Info for Every Game
College football's Week 3 slate lacks some of the firepower the opening two weeks brought to the table, but that is no excuse to miss out on the action.
After some brave scheduling by those in charge the first two weeks, only a notable few games will impact the polls in a major way this upcoming weekend. Heavyweights such as No. 1 Florida State have the weekend off before getting into the real meat of the schedule.
Highlighted by one key marquee matchup, let's take a look at the full weekend's slate and the viewing info when applicable. Fans on the hunt to watch their favorite team, like always, can also fire up a live stream.

Matchups to Watch
Rice vs. No. 7 Texas A&M
Alright, so this is not exactly some ground-breaking contest that will be close in any sense of the word.
After all, the Rice Owls out of Conference USA are already 0-1 after acting as the punching bag for Notre Dame at the end of August. In that 48-17 loss, star quarterback Driphus Jackson threw for just 163 yards and a touchdown and interception, but he also led the team in rushing with 61 yards on 11 totes.
The Owls must now travel to College Station.
No, the interest here has to do with Texas A&M. Some may know them as the team doomed by the departure of a guy named Johnny Manziel, inaugural playoff surely a dream at best.
Except not really. The Aggies are arguably the biggest surprise in the collegiate football landscape at this juncture. They are 2-0 after a season-opening upset of then-ranked No. 9 South Carolina 52-28 before a blowout of Lamar with a score of 73-3.
The reason can be traced to one man—coach Kevin Sumlin. Numbers provided by College GameDay do all the talking:
Despite the gaudy numbers through two games of the post-Johnny era, Sumlin wants more.
"I told them after the game: `That wasn't our best football. We could play better," he said, per The Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com). "We left some things on the table. We had some penalties that were needless. Turnovers."
For those rolling the eyes, Sumlin does point out that the team lost the turnover battle 3-2.
The main attraction remains under center when it comes to the Aggies thanks to sophomore Kenny Hill. He's an entrant in the Heisman sweepstakes at this point after 511 yards and three scores at South Carolina and another 283 and four before hitting the bench against Lamar.
Saturday's late contest won't provide much competition, sure, but don't tell that to the perfectionist who is Sumlin.
No. 6 Georgia at No. 24 South Carolina
Buried in the depths of Week 3 is one of the year's most underrated matchups.
The aforementioned Gamecocks essentially have their season on the line Saturday against Georgia, a team that turned many heads with its triumph in the opening week over then-ranked No. 16 Clemson 45-21.
South Carolina stumbled out of the gates with that loss to the Aggies and really did not look so hot against East Carolina in a 10-point win, either. Senior quarterback Dylan Thompson actually regressed in his second game, throwing for just one touchdown and interception. Star running back Mike Davis has been relatively quiet in the first two contests of the year, too.
It has been the exact opposite for Georgia.
Hutson Mason took the reins from the now-pro quarterback Aaron Murray and was sound enough in the win over Clemson. More importantly, star running back and Heisman contender Todd Gurley already has 198 yards and three touchdowns—on 15 carries.
Per Seth Emerson of The Telegraph, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is one of many who respects what Gurley is capable of, saying, "Hopefully we can slow him down a little bit. But he's gonna get his yards, there's no question about that. He's going to get his yards against everybody."
Further seemingly throwing things in Georgia's favor is its bye week last weekend, as coach Mark Richt explains, via GeorgiaDogs.com:
"It gives you a chance to take a little bit of a break and see what you’re doing, see if you think you’re on the right path. The whole key is that you want to get better fundamentally during the open date and maybe even get stronger during the open date. You also want to get far enough ahead of the game plan so you can get the repetitions of it. We had what we thought was our plan going into this week and we got more information from the East Carolina game so it’s just comparing notes and making sure we are on the right track. Hopefully it’ll help us.
"
In a matchup that will likely decide the SEC East, Richt will surely take any advantage he can get.
Sure to be a run-first, gritty affair, fans will want to set aside time for this one.
