This week’s schedule is an abbreviated one composed mainly of
Conference Championships (with a few regular season games from the Big 12 thrown
in). The results will shake up the final rankings which come out next week. The
rankings listed are those of the Selection Committee.
In the PAC-12 Championship, the #2 Oregon Ducks (11-1) take
on the #7 Arizona Wildcats (10-2) on Friday night.
The Mid-American Conference Championship will have Northern
Illinois (10-2) vs. Bowling Green (7-5) will also be played on Friday.
The Conference USA Championship has the Marshall Thundering
Herd (11-1) are challenged by the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (8-4).
The SEC Championship has #1 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1)
facing the #16 Missouri Tigers (10-2).
The ACC Championship game has the #4 Florida State Seminoles (12-0) against
the #11 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (10-2).
The Mountain West Championship will be decided by Fresno
State Bulldogs (6-6) against the #22 Boise State Broncos (10-2).
The Big Ten Championship has the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes
(11-1) squaring off against the #13 Wisconsin Badgers (10-2).
And the Big 12 (which has no championship game) has three
games scheduled; all of which have one or more ranked teams participating.
The Iowa State Cyclones (2-9) visit the #3 TCU Horned Frogs
(10-1).
The #6 Baylor Bears (10-1) will host the #9 Kansas State
Wildcats (9-2).
(We could see a tie for the title if both TCU and Baylor
win.)
The #20 Oklahoma Sooners (8-3) host in-state rival Oklahoma
State (5-6).
In games featuring non-ranked teams, the American Athletic
Conference—another without a championship game—will have a slate of three
games. One of those will give SMU, currently the only team in the FBS world
without a victory, one last chance—against Connecticut (2-9).
