Conference championship weekend has arrived, with Saturday featuring four power conference title games that will shape the College Football Playoff field. The 12-team bracket will be announced on Sunday afternoon.
In the first game of the day, Georgia faces Texas with a line of Texas -3. Georgia previously dominated Texas with their defensive front and will look to do the same in this rematch. A loss for Georgia would be their third of the season, but it’s unlikely to knock them out of the playoff field.
Following that match-up, Oregon takes on Penn State in a game that may be a play-in for the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. Oregon enters as the only undefeated team in the top level of college football, while Penn State will look to capitalize on Ohio State’s loss to sneak into the title game.
Finally, the ACC title game between SMU and Clemson will have significant playoff implications. An SMU win could mean only one team from the conference makes the playoff, while a Clemson win may secure two berths. The decision may hinge on the committee’s rankings, with SMU currently ahead of a 9-3 Alabama team.
In other games from the day, Ohio won the MAC championship and Arizona State dominated Iowa State in a convincing victory. The day featured standout performances from players like Cam Skattebo and Sam Leavitt.
