SEC football Week 3: Picks, predictions, where to watch

Only 13 undefeated teams remain in the SEC entering Week 3, but that number will increase with multiple conference matchups on the Week 3 slate.

Texas A&M hosts the Kentucky Wildcats for the first time since 2018, after the Aggies defeated Arizona State in Week 2. Meanwhile, Will Stein's squad is coming off their first loss of the season, a 45-17 decision to Alabama. The Crimson Tide will face Florida State at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. An hour and a half down the road in Auburn, first-year head coach Alex Golesh will lead his Tigers against Jon Sumrall and the Florida Gators.

In Columbia, S.C., we could see an explosive matchup between two of the most electric SEC quarterbacks, as LaNorris Sellers and the Gamecocks host Kamario Taylor and the Bulldogs. Speaking of explosive, Oxford, Mississippi, will be the place to be Saturday night, as the prodigal son, LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, returns to face his former team under the bright lights of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
