Conference Championship Week

[KSUowls]

The season always comes to an end way too fast. Enjoy Friday-Saturday night boys. It's the last time that we will have all day college football for a couple of weeks. This is also the last time that we see conference championship week with P5 conferences as we know them.

Fireworks start on Friday at 8pm ET with Oregon and Washington (7pm with Liberty & New Mexico if you're a degenerate).

Lots of exciting scenarios to play out with CFP implications.
Georgia, Michigan and Washington are all in if they win. I have to imagine that FSU is also in if they are in.

Things get pretty wild if any of those teams lose though. There is a very real chance that we don't see a SEC team in the CFP.


My guess is that Oregon gets its revenge, Texas rolls, Michigan takes care of business against Iowa, Lousiville knocks out FSU, and Georgia once again falls to Alabama.

Alabama has only been an underdog 3 times since 2009. Georgia was the other team on the coin in all 3 instances, but Georgia has only won 1 of those. I see that trend continuing given UGA's chronic issues against the run, especially running QBs, all year being a particularly unfavorable matchup against Milroe.

And then Team Chaos takes over as the committee tries to fill 2 spots among 3 conference champions with 1 loss.

Re: Conference Championship Week

I put this in last week's thread, but I think it's pretty simple this week.

SEC champ is in - I just don't see a one-loss SEC champion Alabama being left out.
Pac 12 champ is in - the committee already loves Oregon.
Michigan is in unless Iowa suddenly learns offense and pulls off a miracle.

That leaves one spot. Hard to see an undefeated FSU being left out, so I think it's in with a win. An FSU loss opens the door for Texas. FSU and Texas both faltering opens the door for Georgia to get in with a loss to Alabama; or for Ohio State if Georgia wins the SEC.

If you have Directv, check your viewing plans as Tegna (owner of stations in a bunch of markets) wants a ton more money so there is a contract dispute now.

Re: Conference Championship Week

Just saw on Twitter that Oregon-Washington is only the 5th Top-5 matchup in Pac-12 history.

And there's only 2 that weren't USC vs UCLA.

2023- #5 Oregon vs #3 Washington
2013- #3 Oregon vs #5 Stanford
1976- #3 USC vs #2 UCLA
1967- #4 USC vs #1 UCLA
1952- #4 USC vs #3 UCLA

FSU may be down to its third-string QB. Rodemaker is a game-time decision. Sounds like he’s essentially in concussion protocol after that hit he took against Florida.

I'm guessing this is why the line dropped immediately after it was released. Not sure how it was kept quiet but he hasn't practiced all week and has been off to the side.

Glenn is the better QB but he is a freshman. I hope he shocks the world and does enough to win. Then get 1 month of practice before the playoff.

Which re-affirms that craziness that he went back in.

Washington establishing their run game early.

Re: Conference Championship Week

One thing I noticed about college football is that they don't really police people live streaming games on different platforms. It feels like most games are live streamed on YouTube. It is fortunate fo those who either don't have cable or not be able to use an app to stream. This Oregon-Wash game is being streamed on YouTube at decent video quality.

Re: Conference Championship Week

Even though it was incomplete, that was a heck of a throw.

Re: Conference Championship Week

It's still crazy to me that we have guys like Penix who have been playing college football since 2018.
