Summary

Greg McElroy delivers his Top 10 takeaways from week 3 of the college football season. Texas A&M is a legit contender - can they handle the expectations, while the “luck” of the Irish has not been on their side early this season - where does Notre Dame go from here? Georgia won on toughness, Tennessee looked really good (even in a loss) and LSU’s offense isn’t broken, it’s just different. Did the ceilings for Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt change after big wins, can Clemson recover and what to make of the job openings at Virginia Tech and UCLA? All that and more plus some shoutouts on BOLD predictions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
