It took until the late slate to save the weekend, but it was still another exciting week of college football.

The biggest story of the week was Ole Miss getting revenge on their former coach, Lane Kiffin, in Oxford, but who else were the biggest winners and losers from week three of the college football season?

Winner: Ole Miss

There’s no debate about who the winner of the weekend was. Ole Miss couldn’t have scripted a better first matchup against their old head coach. The crowd absolutely won this game for Ole Miss; Trinidad Chambliss looked like the best quarterback in the country, and a Lane Kiffin-led offense choked under the bright lights for the millionth time. Many have doubted the Rebels as SEC contenders, and if this didn’t convince people, then nothing ever will.

Loser: Lane Kiffin

On the flip side, nobody had a worse weekend than Kiffin. He left Ole Miss high and dry because he felt LSU had more national-title upside. Well, one year later, LSU is still a bit of a mess, and Ole Miss is now a well-oiled machine, even with Pete Golding as the coach.

LSU will catch a ton of heat from the media this week, and it’s pretty deserved. Kiffin continues to struggle in top-10 matchups, and it’s hard not to think the Tigers were overrated after their week one win against Clemson.

Loser: Texas A&M

After Alabama thumped Kentucky in Lexington, it felt like this weekend against Texas A&M would be another tough loss. However, Will Stein got a program-changing win on the road, and it wasn’t any fluke.

Marcel Reed has struggled in every big game the last two years, and turnovers killed him again against Kentucky. Texas A&M thrived on a weak schedule last season, and they won’t be as fortunate this season. LSU, Alabama, and Missouri are all on the schedule in the next six weeks, and Reed has to play much cleaner in those matchups.

Winner: West Virginia

Over the past two weeks, I felt that Virginia was a contender in the ACC, but it's actually West Virginia that might be a contender in the Big 12. WVU has thrived on elite quarterbacks since the turn of the century, but during their recent struggles, they haven’t had a game-changer under center.

Rich Rodriguez got his new dual-threat QB, Michael Hawkins Jr., to combine for 313 all-purpose yards and 5 total touchdowns. Hawkins, the Oklahoma transfer, has been one of the most fun watches in the country so far, and he could lead the Mountaineers to a Big 12 title if he keeps playing this well.
