ESPN analyst and former college football head coach, Dan Mullen, has shared his predictions for the upcoming Week 3 slate in the world of college football. While Mullen is picking the favorites in some matchups, such as Alabama over Wisconsin and Kansas State over Arizona, he has also identified a couple of potential upsets that could shake up the rankings.

According to Mullen, one of the biggest upsets could occur in Missouri, where the sixth-ranked Tigers are set to face the 24th-ranked Boston College Eagles. This will be Boston College's first matchup against a top-ranked opponent this season, and Mullen believes they have what it takes to come out on top. Despite being the underdogs, Mullen is picking the Eagles to secure a victory.

Boston College has had an impressive start to their season under first-year head coach Bill O'Brien. The Eagles recorded a dominant 56-0 victory over Duquesne in Week 1, followed by a historic 28-13 win over the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles in Week 2. Leading the charge for Boston College is dual-threat quarterback Thomas Castellanos, who has showcased his skills with six touchdowns and 340 passing yards, along with one touchdown and 81 rushing yards.

In another upset pick, Dan Mullen believes that unranked South Carolina has what it takes to defeat the 16th-ranked LSU Tigers. The Gamecocks are off to a solid start this season, with a narrow 23-19 win against Old Dominion in Week 1 and an impressive 31-6 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in Week 2. Anchoring their success has been their formidable defensive front, featuring standout true freshman Dylan Stewart and experienced player Kyle Kennard.

The Gamecocks' strong defense was on full display against Kentucky, allowing just 44 passing yards, forcing two interceptions, and limiting the Wildcats to a meager three conversions out of 14 third-down attempts. With their defensive prowess and newfound momentum, Mullen believes that South Carolina can pull off an upset against LSU.

As Saturday approaches, all eyes will be on these potential upsets as Dan Mullen's predictions generate excitement and anticipation among college football fans. Will the Boston College Eagles and South Carolina Gamecocks prove their mettle and secure notable victories in Week 3? Only time will tell as the games unfold.
