Jul 19, 2017 at 8:18 comment added sabrebooth In the case of $PGL_3$ you also have a maximal conjugacy class for $PGL_2$, and again to be sure that you have only one conjugacy class for $SL_2$ (contained in a parabolic conjugacy class, so it doesn't yield maximal connected algebraic subrgoups of $PGL_3$) and one conjugacy class for $PGL_2$ (which yields maximal connected algebraic subrgoups of $PGL_3$), it seems that one needs Lie algebra arguments or at least some classifications results (like the paper of Seitz pointed out by Jim).

Moreover, it has no center, otherwise it is contained in a parablic. So it is semi-simple of rank 1 or 2. In both cases the rank 2 case must be the full group. The rank 1 case must be the irreducible rep of $\text{SL}_2$ in the case of $\text{PGL}_3$ and the graph of an automorphism in the product case.
