The conference championship games will be televised tomorrow, and only two of them look like they could be somewhat interesting.
The ACC game has Pitt (7-5) vs Clemson (12-0), and Pitt is roughly a four touchdown underdog. College Football News expects Clemson to win a 44-14 blowout, and I can't imagine myself watching more than five minutes of it (maybe to check the score). Update: As expected, Clemson pounded Pitt 42-10.
The Big Ten offers another mismatch, Ohio State (11-1) vs Northwestern (8-4). The Buckeyes are a mere 14.5 point favorite, and the CFN score prediction is Ohio State rolling to a 48-24 win. The game is at 7:00 PM on Fox. The time and the place guarantee I won't waste time on this farce. Anyway, I hate Ohio State, and would only watch if there was a strong possibility they'd lose. Update: The Buckeyes won this game by three touchdowns, 45-24.
The Big 12 has a fairly competitive match, with Texas University (9-3) facing Oklahoma (11-1) as an 8-point underdog. CFN is predicting the Sooners will lose a 40-37 upset. The longhorns won the previous game, giving OU its only loss. The nice thing about this rematch is that one of them will lose, and if I had my way, the Sooners would kick the shit out of Texas U. The game's on ABC at 11:00 AM. Update: It wasn't the kind of blowout I would have enjoyed watching, but the Sooners won 39-27.
Finally, the SEC championship will be decided when Alabama (12-0) meets Georgia (11-1) at 3:00 PM on CBS. The Crimson Tide has been unbeatable so far, and is favored by nearly two touchdowns over a solid Georgia team. CFN believes Bama will barely cover the 13.5 point spread with a 34-20 win. I'm hoping Georgia finds a way to pull off the upset, but I expect to be disappointed again. Update: The prediction was off, and Alabama didn't cover the spread. They still won the game, even though Tua was replaced by Jalen Hurts in the 4th quarter. The final score was 35-28.
Final update: Not that anyone cares, but Washington won the Pac-12 championship game, beating Utah in a 10-3 shootout.
