Championship Weekend And Why The Big Ten Will Be Out Of The College Football Playoff

The Big Ten’s hopes lie with Ohio State. Ugh.

Championship weekend is nearly upon us. I look forward to the day that Nebraska plays on this weekend. Like you, my hope is that this is in the very near future. This is, of course, for selfish reasons. It’s not just that winning is more fun, it’s that it’s a real pain when the season ends as early as it has the past two seasons. Last year we had Scott Frost hiring to keep us all going. This year will have more anticipation than ever and the minutes turn into hours, hours turn into days, days turn into months and months turn into years.

I’ve included a table of this weekend’s championship games. There appears to be some exciting match-ups, but unfortunately none of the games expected to be close are that interesting to anyone but those teams’ fans.

None of the Power Five Championship games are expected to be close except the Pac-12, which features Washington and Utah, two teams that have zero chance to get into the College Football Playoff. Oklahoma is favored by just over a touchdown over Texas in the Big XII championship game. Alabama is favored by nearly two touchdowns over Georgia in the SEC Title game. Clemson is favored by four touchdowns over Pitt, and Ohio State is a two-touchdown favorite over Big Ten West division winner Northwestern.
