College football games, Week 14: Texas-Texas A&M, Ohio State-Michigan among games with highest impact on CFP

Welcome to the end. At least the end of the regular season. As Thanksgiving approaches, there are more possibilities this Week 14 than there are wishbones at the adult table. 

As a public service, Storylines has decided to cut through the dressing and get right to the white meat, listing all the games that matter in the College Football Playoff. 

Realignment and the subsequent consolidation of conferences have gifted us the resulting tiebreaker headaches. Amaze your friends at holiday parties by cutting and pasting the following: 

Big 12: Nine teams are still alive. Take a Tylenol and read the conference’s tiebreakers. Big Ten: Oregon has clinched a spot. Ohio State can assure a rematch with the Ducks by beating Michigan. If not, it’s a bit of a mess. ACC: SMU is in. If Miami beats Syracuse, it’s in. Clemson gets in by beating South Carolina and with a Miami loss.
SEC: The winner of Texas-Texas A&M plays Georgia.Mountain West: Boise State has clinched a spot in the title game, against either UNLV or Colorado State; however, it must win that game, and the Oregon State game on Black Friday, or the MWC could lose its playoff spot. American: Tulane will play Army. All that’s left to determine based on this week’s results is which school will host the game. 

As promised, here in order of importance are the games that most impact the CFP going into the final weekend of the season.
