After Week #3:

New Mexico State is neutral going 2-2 with one of the wins over an FCS team.

Auburn is 3-0, but except for UMass has not looked overwhelming. Now they start their SEC schedule.

Miami of Ohio is up at 2-1 and a win over Cincinnati.

Eastern Michigan is 2-1 before starting their MAC schedule.

New Mexico is down at 1-2. The lobos do not play Air Force this year, do face Boise State.

Arkansas State is down at 1-2 and have only scored 34 points in three games.

Toledo is 2-1 and have scored 120 points in three games (by far the most in the MAC).

Penn State is 3-0 and ranked #7 in the nation. Out scored opponent 131-35.

Army up at 2-1 and have outscored opponents 107-46. The Black Knights new offense looks good so far. 

Merrimack is down at 1-2, but one loss is to #5 Holy Cross.

Liberty is 3-0 and their new option offense is clicking.

UConn is down at 0-3. A second bowl game is looking unlikely.
