College football schedule, games 2024: What to watch in Week 15, TV channels, Saturday kickoff times

Conference championship weekend has arrived, which means the 12-team College Football Playoff is on the horizon. With the five highest-ranked conference champions receiving automatic bids to the CFP, there has never been more at stake during one of the most exciting weekends on the college football calendar.

No. 5 Georgia faces No. 2 Texas in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta in a highly anticipated rematch of a showdown earlier this season. Georgia handed Texas its first and only loss this season with a 30-15 win over the Longhorns in Austin.

The Ducks enter as the only undefeated FBS team remaining and would certainly lock up the No. 1 seed with a win over the Nittany Lions. If Penn State upsets Oregon, the winner of the SEC title could receive consideration for the No. 1 overall seed in the CFP — or the Nittany Lions themselves. 

As conference championship week arrives, here’s a viewer’s guide to help you navigate through all of the games.
