Week 3 of the college football season delivered.
The slate was headlined by the highly anticipated return of Lane Kiffin to his former home in Mississippi, bringing the Tigers to Oxford for a top-10 showdown that went to the very end. That ensured one top 10 team would go down, but it wasn't the only one as there was a major upset that took place along with some other ranked teams falling.
It comes as the race for the College Football Playoff really begins with conference play starting across the country.
Here's a look at scores from Saturday, Sept. 19, involving top 25 teams, as well as a few other notable contests.
