10 FBS conference championship games are on tap this coming weekend. For the CFP, its win-and-in for Georgia, Michigan, and TCU. Can they win #13? If so, who would slide in as the 4th team?

There are two former Big 12 coaches in the CCGs: Mack Brown with UNC, and Lincoln Riley at USC. Both are favored, but only USC has a realistic shot at the CFP.

Which teams do you pick to win for each conference?

Note on the Poll: The home team is the first one mentioned (on the left. prior to "vs"). Most of these are neutral site, so home teams are picked by each conference. Pretty sure I got them correct.

Coastal is at Troy

You're correct. Missed that one, but the poll voting remain accurate with this footnote.

I'll pick USC to step up and get that 4th slot in the CFP, although Utah will be a tough opponent. And that will make a great story line with Heisman hopeful, and Big 12 import, Caleb Williams at QB. And how many births did OU get with Lincoln Riley at the helm?

Probably the weakest/least interesting slate of CCGs in recent memory. The only really damning result IMO would be if USC loses. Suppose TCU losing by 30 would probably cost them as well.

I think 3? Maybe 2.

And got blown out all 2/3 times.

EDIT: it was 4 times.
2016: No. 1 Clemson 37 No. 4 Oklahoma 17
2018: No. 3 Georgia 54, No. 2 Oklahoma 48 (2OT)
2019: No. 1 Alabama 45, No. 4 Oklahoma 34
2020: No. 1 LSU 63, No. 4 Oklahoma 28

USC vs Utah is the only Friday game, so will set the tone for Saturday's lineup. Utah's 3 losses were to Florida St, UCLA, and Oregon - all on the road. They also beat USC earlier this season, so could very well do it again. They will definitely be ready.

TCU shouldn't drop out with a close loss, but I am confident that the committee would find a way to screw them again if they get the chance.

I like K-State this weekend.

They need to win to be sure. Don’t put it in the hands of the committee especially if you are up against Ohio State as the other option.

Absolutely. I'm sure the committee will set themselves up should there be a chance to get both tOSU and Alabama back in to set up the all Big 10/SEC field they've always dreamed about. Alabama might be a stretch, but if USC and TCU both get blown out this weekend, I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[cyclones500]

I selected (in descending order of confidence):

Georgia
Michigan
UTSA
TCU
USC

 

[Clonedogg]

I think the poll would have been more straight forward if it was formatted with @, like: Utah @ USC; Purdue @ Michigan

Maybe just my preference, carry on...
