Three Games To Watch on Championship Weekend as an Ohio State fan​

1. The Pac-12 Championship Game: As to which team should Ohio State fans should root for, it is my belief that the winner is guaranteed a spot in the College Football Playoff, no matter what. Yes, there are thoughts that Ohio State fans should root for Washington, to ensure that Oregon gets a second loss and would be ranked below Ohio State, but the reality is that Oregon is one of the better teams in the nation, and will leapfrog the Buckeyes if they defeat Washington.

2. The Big 12 Conference Championship Game: Texas is heavily favored by the oddsmakers, but hope is not completely lost for Ohio State fans. Oklahoma State has won eight of the last 10 games against Texas, so here is to rooting for Mike Gundy and the Cowboys.



3. The ACC Championship Game: Plain and simple, Ohio State fans need Florida State to lose

Land-Grant Holy Land says: As for how I believe it will turn out, I believe Georgia will win the SEC Championship Game over Alabama, while Michigan will win The Big Ten Championship Game over Iowa, securing their respective spots in the College Football Playoff as the top two seeds. As I wrote up above, I believe Oregon will win on Friday night against Washington, landing them third.

Louisville does enough against Florida State to win the ACC Championship, while Texas wins against Oklahoma State, securing their last Big 12 Championship. By virtue of Texas’ conference championship, the College Football Playoff committee rewards the Longhorns with the fourth and final spot in the College Football Playoff, leaving Ohio State fifth and on the outside looking in.

It may not be what Ohio State fans want to read, and I certainly hope to be proven wrong, but these are the kind of things that happen when a team does not secure their own destiny. Should both Florida State and Texas lose, the Buckeyes have a shot at sneaking in with that fourth seed. Hope for the best, but Ohio State fans should prepare for a likely Orange Bowl game versus Louisville on Dec. 30.

I wonder if Dan’s gambling addiction comes back to bite him in the 4th?

It's Vegas baby!

Lanning is West Coast James Franklin

At least the PAC is going out wuth a bang!

 

[Bucklion]

Biggest play of the PAC season coming up

 

[CincyInterloper]

Great game.

Pac12 going out with a bang.

It’s a shame this conference is going away.

Me this week.
This is the last ever SEC on CBS game. I want this one bad.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Iowa team total according to Vegas is 6.5.

There is a major conference title game and the consensus is “it’s a toss up if one team even scores a TD.”

 

[Jake]

Some of these lines:

Iowa +23
Okie State +15
Oregon is favored by -9.5

 

[Jake]

Boise St at UNLV, Mountain West CCG | 3 p.m. | FOX, 3 computer rankings dropped San Jose St

San Jose lost to Boise, beat UNLV, Boise and UNLV didn't play each other, and they all went 6-2 in conference.

Seems like the Spartans got a raw deal. They had to play both of those teams on the road and beat one of them.

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

CCGs are dumb. I know why they are done, but they should go away next year with the abomination of a 12-team playoff.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

If Nix or Penix balls out in the CCG and wins, it could put a lock on the Heisman.

Hoping FSU, Texas, Bama lose and maybe we can backdoor our way into the playoffs again?

I would love to see some more Marvin Harrison in meaningful games.
