The Oregonian/OregonLive is back with its picks for Week 3 of the 2025 college football season.

Saturday’s marquee matchup is a clash of SEC titans as No. 6 Georgia travels to face No. 15 Tennessee in Knoxville. Other top-15 showdowns include No. 16 Texas A&M at No. 8 Notre Dame and No. 18 South Florida at No. 5 Miami.

The No. 4 Oregon Ducks will hit the road for the first time this season as they travel to Evanston to take on Northwestern in a rare early kickoff. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Beavers have an uphill battle against No. 21 Texas Tech, a tough road test following their disheartening loss to Fresno State last weekend.

Here are The Oregonian/OregonLive staff picks for thirteen games:
