Your Watch Grid guide to Championship Weekend’s best games
SB Nation ^ | November 30, 2018 | Jason Kirk

THE FINAL SATURDAY. College football’s final regular season all comes down to this: a weekend full of postseason games. What? Yeah, it’s a weird sport!

Now that every FBS conference has a title game, we have a mostly tidy schedule, along with some rando loosies left over from postponements earlier in the season and so forth. The FCS playoffs also really get rolling, with seeded teams joining festivities.

Below, the Watch Grid attempts to sort your Saturday by watchability, a scientific metric not specifically related to how good your team is, because your team is too good for science to understand.

‘Bama wins a tight one. Is Georgia out.. if both Clemson and OSU win? Is OSU out already since Oklahoma won?

‘Bama will win. They’re in no matter what.

It was a struggle but they won. Georgia was Number 4 so it wasn't supposed to be easy.

There is no way they can leave Notre Dame out. They’re unbeaten with a couple of good wins. And they have a huge national following which guarantees eyeballs watching.

That being said, I think Notre Dame is the weakest of the four and will be smashed by either Clemson or Bama.

Cubs keep Russel.

538 has ND out. I don’t think so, it will be the Buckeyes.

UCF can’t get an invite to Sugar to face GA? Boring rematch with LSU.

UCF is an automatic Fiesta bowl invite?

Above my pay-grade. UCF needs a top bowl.

Sugar Bowl has a big-12 tie in as well as SEC so UCF was never going there.

But they could had UCF-Florida (instate rivals) for Peach and LSU-Michigan for Fiesta (never played each other!?) instead of LSU-UFC and Florida-Michigan (again!!!)

They effed up! Losers!
