College football updated polls: AP Top 25, Coaches Poll rankings after Week 3 image

It was a tough week for ranked teams in Week 3. Several ranked teams suffered upsets, subsequently knocking them from the ranks of the unbeaten — and the top 25.

Those teams include Michigan State, Maryland, Mississippi State and USC. That, of course, led to several new ranked teams ahead of the Week 4 slate of games. That sets up for several ranked games this weekend, including between Georgia-Notre Dame and Auburn-Texas A&M.

SN RANKINGS: Chaos reigns supreme in Week 3
