ESPN CFB analyst Aaron Murray reveals his top-ten following Week 3

After two incredible weeks of the college football season, Week 3 gave fans a bit of a breather. That’s not to say there was no excitement on Saturday — it’s college football … there’s always excitement.

With another week in the books, we have a firm idea who the top three teams in America are. Beyond the top-three, there’s plenty to debate. Are Kentucky and Arkansas legit? Can Clemson, USC, Oklahoma and Michigan do enough to give any team a tough time in the College Football Playoff?
