At least five of them will directly impact who makes the College Football Playoff field, and in what order. The Big 12 Championship Game and the ACC Championship Game both have the feel of a play-in game. The latest Championship Week college football odds via SportsLine consensus list Arizona State as a 2-point favorite over Iowa State in the Big 12, while SMU is -2.5 against Clemson in the ACC.
Texas vs. Georgia (+2.5) and Oregon vs. Penn State (+3.5) will determine the byes for the SEC and Big Ten, respectively, while Boise State has a great chance at the No. 4 seed if it can handle UNLV (+4) in the Mountain West title game. The updated College Football Playoff rankings come out Tuesday evening.
