The Week 3 college football schedule does not have many marquee matchups.

But what Saturday's slate will do is set up the buzz for one of the biggest games of the season in two weeks .

The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs can each impress on the road on Saturday to generate even more buzz for their clash in two weeks.

UGA and Bama's SEC foe, the Missouri Tigers, feature in Saturday's only Top 25 clash against the Boston College Eagles.

Boston College is ranked because it upset the Florida State Seminoles on the road in Week 1, but achieving the same feat against Mizzou will be a much tougher task.

No. 4 Alabama at Wisconsin

The Alabama Crimson Tide have a few different goals to achieve on Saturday.

Jalen Milroe and Co. need to look much sharper than their Week 2 win over the South Florida Bulls in order to be fully prepared for their clash with the Georgia Bulldogs in two weeks.

The Crimson Tide have off in Week 4, so the trip to Madison to face the Wisconsin Badgers serves as a good test run ahead of SEC play.

Wisconsin is a mid-tier Big Ten team at best and it has not looked convincing in wins over Western Michigan and South Dakota.

But if there is one promising sign for the Badgers it is Tyler Van Dyke's numbers against Top 25 while with the Miami Hurricanes last season. He had three 300-yard passing games and `10 passing touchdowns against ranked foes.

However, beating Alabama through the air may not be the ideal strategy for the Badgers. After all, Bama held USF to 103 passing yards on 36 attempts. Pass-heavy Western Kentucky managed the same passing-yard total on 40 attempts.

Wisconsin's old identity was to grind down opponents with a powerful offensive line and top-tier running backs, but the Badgers have turned away from that approach under Luke Fickell.

This would have been the perfect game for old-school Wisconsin football, but if the Badgers try to beat Bama through the air, they will run into a ton of trouble.

No. 24 Boston College at No. 6 Missouri

No one expected the Boston College Eagles and Missouri Tigers to match up in a Top 25 battle in Week 3.

Boston College surged into the Top 25 with its Week 1 road win over the Florida State Seminoles.

Missouri presents a much more difficult challenge than a rebuilding FSU team for Bill O'Brien's team.

Mizzou is expected to be one of the best teams in the SEC and it has not allowed a single point in the first two weeks.

Mizzou played FCS side Murray State and the Buffalo Bulls out of the MAC, so it will step up in competition as well, but the early defensive returns show us what the Tigers are capable of.

BC will at least try to execute a similar game plan as the FSU game in Columbia on Saturday. The Eagles should feature a heavy dose of quarterback Thomas Castellanos in both the air and ground and they will look to hold the ball on drives of five minutes or more.

But Mizzou's offense is far more explosive than FSU's unit and that could give the Tigers the breakaway speed they need to avoid any upset potential.

Quarterback Brady Cook has two dynamic wide outs to work with in Theo Wease and Luther Burden. Burden is a projected first-round NFL Draft pick and Wease is as explosive. Wease averaged above 11 yards per catch in all of his collegiate seasons between Oklahoma and Missouri.

BC might be able to keep the game close for a half, but Mizzou has too many dynamic playmakers for the Eagles to be in the contest for four quarters.

No. 1 Georgia at Kentucky

The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs have their final tune-up before the clash with Alabama in two weeks in primetime on Saturday night.

Georgia visits the Kentucky Wildcats, who have not beaten UGA since 2009 and are coming off a 31-6 loss against South Carolina.

Kentucky is consistently in the middle-of-the-pack in the SEC, but it has had trouble competing with some of the top programs in the conference.

That should be on display on Saturday against a UGA program that has held Kentucky to 13 points or fewer in each of the last five head-to-head meetings.

Georgia's defense only allowed six points so far this season, and that strong form should continue against a Kentucky offense that looked lost in the Week 2 loss to South Carolina.

A win by UGA combined with an Alabama triumph in Madison will accelerate the hype train for the biggest game of the season to date on September 28 in Tuscaloosa.
