***CFB Conference Championship Games Thread***

Most likely. The sugar takes the next highest team. So if Baylor fell to 13 and OU moved to 12. OU could slide into it.

I think the Sugar is required to take the Big XII championship loser if the champion goes to the play-offs. At least it used to be that way.

That is actually a myth. The runner up has always been the second highest ranked except for twice, both times it was when the sugar was a semifinal game. Technically it’s the highest available team.

Utah ball carriers are putting on a real display of tough running tonight. Breaking a ton of tackles.

They relentlesy get downfield very quickly.

What are the rose bowl rules? If Iowa loses would OSU go to the rose or iowa?

OSU would go according to Herbstreit and Fowler.

Iowa has to win to get the Rose

I believe they would take Ohio State.

Direct from Sugar Bowl website:

"The Allstate Sugar Bowl will host the champions of the Big 12 Conference and the SEC unless either or both of those champions are selected for the College Football Playoff. If either of the champions do qualify for the playoff, another highly-ranked representative from the conference(s) will play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. In the case of the SEC, the replacement team would be the top-ranked non-playoff team. In the case of the Big 12, the replacement team would be the next non-playoff team with the best record in the regular-season standings. The 2022 Sugar Bowl match-up will be announced on Sunday, December 5 on ESPN."

I really should get some beers for today. Good sports day.

 

[awd4cy]

Wow, I didn’t realize Utah has 15 freshman on offense and defense combined. That team is going to be loaded for a few years.

Pokes and Wolverines all day, baby.

Who's starting at QB for Baylor today?

Edit: Bohannon is out today according to Aranda, but Desmond says he's "available".

And they played like they weren't slow walked into it.

Very well coached team.

OSU better boat race BU

 

[CloneGuy8]

I took Utah at -2.5. After their last meeting, seems like easy money.

I'm a lot better at this than rhoho

 

[Scruff]

Pulling for Georgia, Cinci, and the Pokes. I believe in that scenario the new Big12 would represent half the 4 team playoffs this year.

 

[JP4CY]

Lincoln Riley being shown on TV and the SEC chants come flying in.

Conference USA game was pretty epic. Runners led 42-13 in the third, ended up having to intercept a pass at the goal line at the end to hold on.

side note, Brayden Narverson kicks for western Kentucky. He missed two 50+ kicks last night, but made two others.
