Week 3 of the 2024 college football season saw a couple of close calls, but no major upsets as every higher-ranked team won its matchup. No. 24 Boston College gave No. 6 Missouri all it could handle early, but the Tigers rallied to bring home a 27-24 victory at home. Meanwhile, Alabama avoided any such drama on the road with a 42-10 drubbing of Wisconsin.
Notre Dame bounced back from last week's loss to Northern Illinois in a big way, rolling over Purdue in a dominant 66-7 win. Oregon didn't have any trouble with in-state rival Oregon State, smashing the Beavers 49-14 as the Ducks offense finally seemed to get on track following a couple of weeks of struggles. Utah trailed early, but found its footing in a win over its own in-state rival in Utah State.
Jaxson Dart and Ole Miss continued a near-flawless start with a 40-6 victory over Wake Forest, while Oklahoma needed a couple of fourth quarter turnovers to finally put away a pesky Tulane team in a 34-19 win.
The night game featured some of the day's best drama, as No. 1 Georgia survived a 13-12 dogfight with Kentucky.
