Rivalry Week Decides Conference Title Fights

As the college football regular season concludes, championship game scenarios across all nine FBS conferences are coming into focus. Several teams, including Georgia in the SEC and Indiana in the Big Ten, have already secured their places in title contests. However, the Atlantic Coast Conference and Big 12 are among those with undecided championship matchups heading into this pivotal weekend.

Crucial rivalry games are slated to determine the fate of many teams. The outcomes of these intense matchups will not only solidify conference championship game participants but also influence seeding and potential tiebreakers. For some conferences, like the SEC and Big Ten, the path to the championship is relatively clear, while others, particularly the ACC, necessitate a deep dive into complex tiebreaker rules.

This weekend's slate features high-stakes contests across the nation, from the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry to critical games in the Sun Belt and Mountain West conferences. The results will finalize the field for championship week, where conference bragging rights and College Football Playoff implications will be on the line.
