Preseason polls tend to mean very little in college football. Florida State is proving that all too well.
Through three weeks of the NCAA football season, there have been plenty of changes in the rankings. The biggest is the Seminoles, who started the season in the top-10 and have since dropped three consecutive contests, losing this week to Memphis.
Looking at the rest of the top-25 teams entering Week 3, there were a few close calls, but no upsets. No. 1 Georgia survived Kentucky, but barely, No. 16 LSU held off South Carolina's effort and No. 6 Missouri edged No. 24 Boston College.
