GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Only two teams in the AP Top 25 suffered losses during Week 3 of the college football season as many programs finished up their non-conference slate before the real action begins this Saturday.
Tennessee's loss was the most shocking, as they got manhandled in the swamp by Billy Napier and the Florida Gators, who only mustered 11 points in Week 1 against Utah but scored 29 against Tennessee in a 16 point victory.
Kansas State was the other AP ranked team to suffer a loss, falling 30-27 to Missouri and giving the SEC a much needed marquee non-conference victory after what has been a surprisingly slow start from the historically excellent football conference.
The Vols and Wildcats each fell out of the Locked on College Football Top 25 rankings, as voted on each week by the hosts of the Locked on College podcasts. That made room for a surging Washington State team to sneak in at No. 21, while Missouri climbs in at No. 24 and Clemson is back at No. 25 after a 48-14 dismantling of FAU.
