Week 3 Football: What to watch

Here’s what’s on the schedule this week around the ACC and the immediate region, plus keeping an eye on the Wolfpack’s 2018 opponents and other potentially intriguing national games... and, oh yeah, a hurricane.

Hurricane Florence has already forced the cancellation of games for three ACC teams this week, including the West Virginia @ NC State game that we were all looking forward to (the other ACC cancellations are East Carolina @ Virginia Tech and UCF @ UNC-CH), as well as a couple other games that would normally be on this list (Southern Miss @ Appalachian State and Marshall @ South Carolina). Hurricanes are the worst, man.

Assuming you still have power after this storm comes through, the games to watch are listed below... and we could all use a reprieve from this awfulness.

Stay safe, BTP community!

(Note: F/+ (a combination of FEI and S&P+ rankings) and Sagarin rankings listed for each team. For D1-AA/FCS teams, only the Sagarin ranking is listed.)
