The way the three big conference championship are spaced out this year means a full 12 hours of compelling TV viewing on Conference Championship Saturday. The action kicks off at Noon ET with the Big 12 Championship Red River Shootout Rivalry Part Deux at Jerry's World. #5 Oklahoma will seek to avenge their only loss of the season against #14 Texas. This has all the makings of another high scoring Big 12 = 10 game. Las Vegas is showing no love for Texas as OU is a 8 point favorite. A Oklahoma win might seal a playoff bid. At 3:30 pm ET, the SEC Championship is a rematch of the 2018 National Championship game at the ATL between #1 'Bama v. #4 UGa. The most interesting scenario is if UGa beats 'Bama by a close score will the committee once again put two SEC team into the playoffs shutting out three Power 5 conferences with Notre Dame already a lock for an invite. 'Bama is a 13.5 point favorite. The third big game kicks off at 8 pm ET with the Big 10 = 14 Conference championship at Indy between #6 THE Ohio State University and #21 Northwestern. The best case scenario for THE Ohio State University is Texas beats OU and 'Bama beats UGa then a win for the Buckeyes gets an invite. If OU beats Texas then it might come down to style points. In some alternative prime time programming the Mountain West championship features the best team in California #25 Fresno State at #22 Boise State playing on the smurf terf.

If UGA beats ‘Bama, there’s no option, there will be 2 SEC teams in, deservedly so.

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

Clemson will beat Pitt. It is college, anything can happen, but a Pitt win would be more than surprising.

ND is in.

OU should beat Texas. Style points matter, so they’re going to have to lay it on them.

OSU is an enigma, and this is one of those games that causes concern. When the Buckeyes are clear favorites, it looks like the kids take the attitude that they just have to show up, and they’ll win. NU isn’t great, but they are scrappy and well coached. If OSU doesn’t come to play, they could lose this one, (see: Purdue).

My prediction, which isn’t worth the electrons used to make up this post, OSU wins a squeaker.

That means:

‘Bama
Clemson
ND
OU

Sorry Buckeyes, don’t get blown out, and you will get to join the party. Not that it matters, this is all just to see who gets to lose to Alabama. I give the devil his due.

I can’t disagree with the championship game, as in all likelihood it will be Alabama vs. Clemson; there is an off-chance it will be Alabama vs. Notre Dame. I don’t see Oklahoma beating any of the other top four teams, as its defense is abysmal.

Championship weekend starts tonight. #17 Utah visits #11 Washington.

If things continue as they have been the only football game I will see this year is Army-Navy on the 8th.

I’m ok with that.

#RollTide Other than that, 🐘, enjoy the games.

My alma mater AppState plays the Ragin Cajuns for the first Sun Belt championship.
Virginia Tech plays Marshall for a chance to extend the longest active bowl streak in the NCAA. It doesn’t look good for the Hokies.

The Championships started last week, the final eight are playing today for the trip to the NCAA Div1 Football Championship.

Halftime at Jerry’s World. I am shocked to see some defense in a Big 12 = 10 game. The game is trending to go under on the 80 over\under.
