Conference championship weekend has arrived.
Saturday features the four power conference title games that will shape the College Football Playoff field. The group of 12 teams will be announced on Sunday afternoon.
Time: Noon | Television: ABC | Line: Arizona State -2.5 | Total: 49.5
Given the chaotic and uniform nature of the Big 12 this season, it seems like no outcome would be a surprise in this game. Iowa State has found its groove on offense as the season has progressed, but its run defense can be leaky, and that could be a problem against Cam Skattebo and Arizona State.
Time: 4 pm | Television: ABC | Line: Texas -3 | Total: 49.5
Georgia used a dominant performance from its defensive front to overwhelm Texas in the opener, and Texas’ offensive line could be thinner on Saturday. Georgia’s offense also blew some opportunities in that game. A loss for the Bulldogs would also be their third of the season, but it’s very difficult to see Georgia break out of the 12-team playoff field given its current seeding.
Time: 8 pm | Television: CBS | Line: Oregon -3.5 | Total: 49.5
Is the Big Ten title game a play-in for the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff? The Ducks enter as the only undefeated team at the highest level of college football, while Penn State took advantage of Ohio State’s loss to Michigan to sneak into the title game and move up one spot in the CFP standings.
Time: 8 pm | Television: ABC | Line: SMU -2.5 | Total: 55.5
The ACC title game could be the one with the most at stake. An SMU win will likely give the conference just one team in the College Football Playoff. A Clemson win could mean two conference berths, but only if the playoff committee keeps an 11-2 SMU team ahead of a 9-3 Alabama team that beat Miami (10 -2) on Tuesday in the penultimate set. of classifications.
