Here’s a look at some notable streaks that were extended or shattered in Week 3.
Alabama saw its 17-game home win streak snapped against Ole Miss. Had the Tide won, it would’ve broken a tie with Baylor for the longest active streak in the FBS.
Alabama has scored at least 35 points in seven straight games, which is a school record.
Arkansas losing to Texas Tech snapped the Razorbacks’ six-game win streak against Big 12 teams dating back to 2009. Half of those wins came against Texas A&M when it was still in the Big 12, and the Hogs face them this week.
Auburn has allowed at least 400 total yards in nine straight games against FBS teams. That streak began after last season’s 41-7 win over LSU, which only managed 280 yards against Auburn last season.
Florida extended its win streak against Kentucky to 29 straight games with a 14-9 victory on Saturday. It’s the nation’s longest active win streak in an annual series with an opponent.
Georgia RB Nick Chubb went for at least 100 yards rushing for an 11th consecutive game in a 52-20 win against South Carolina. That matches Toledo RB Kareem Hunt for the longest active streak in the FBS, and it’s the longest streak by a Bulldog since Herschel Walker’s 11 straight in 1982, his Heisman season.
Georgia QB Greyson Lambert had a notable streak in the win as well. Lambert completed 20 straight passes, breaking the school record of 19 set by Mike Bobo.
Kentucky has failed to start a season 3-0 for the fifth straight season.
LSU has now won eight straight against Auburn in Death Valley after its dominating 45-21 win.
LSU RB Leonard Fournette has rushed for at least 140 yards in four straight games dating back to last season after going for 228 against Auburn.
Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott has thrown a TD pass in 17 straight games. That’s tied for the second-longest active streak in the FBS. Only TCU’s Trevone Boykin (18) has more.
Missouri defeated UConn 9-6 on Saturday. How improbable is it that Mizzou won despite scoring 9 points? Well, the school had gone winless in 61 straight games when scoring 10 or fewer points. Missouri hadn’t won a game in that fashion since Nov. 5, 1983, when it beat Oklahoma 10-0.
Ole Miss snapped a 12-game losing streak at Alabama with its win. The Rebels’ last road win (and only road win at Alabama) came in 1988.
South Carolina only recorded 84 passing yards against Georgia. The Gamecocks had gone 40 straight games throwing for at least 100 passing yards dating back to the 2012 season-opener against Vanderbilt.
Tennessee QB Josh Dobbs has accounted for a touchdown (passing or rushing) in 10 straight games. He extended that streak in the Vols’ 55-10 win over Western Carolina, and he hasn’t been held out of the end zone in a game in which he’s been under center since Nov. 23, 2013 against Kentucky.
Texas A&M extended its non-conference winning streak to an FBS-best 19 games after handling Nevada, 44-27.
Vanderbilt QB Johnny McCrary completed 30 passes in Vanderbilt’s 47-7 win over Austin Peay. The Commodores had gone 90 straight games without completing at least 30 passes in a game. The last time Vanderbilt connected on 30 passes in a game was in the school’s regular-season finale in 2007 against Wake Forest.
