Conference championship weekend is underway as the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff picture continues to take shape.
Boise State secured its spot in the CFP Friday night with a gutsy 21-7 win over UNLV behind a dominant performance from running back Ashton Jeanty. The Broncos were listed as the No. 4 seed in this past week’s CFP rankings and hope to maintain that spot ahead of Sunday’s CFP reveal.
The action continued Saturday as Arizona State cruised to an impressive 45-19 win over Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship Game. The Sun Devils also earned their first-ever bid in the CFP.
Georgia followed that up with a memorable 22-19 victory over Texas in the SEC Championship Game, delivering a major shakeup to the CFP picture. With the win, Kirby Smart’s team secured a spot in the 12-team CFP and a first-round bye.
In other action, SMU and Clemson are currently battling in the ACC Championship Game, while Oregon is taking on Penn State for the Big Ten title.
Here is a look at the updated scores:
Mountain West Championship: Boise State 21, UNLV 7
Big 12 Championship: Arizona State 45, Iowa State 19
SEC Championship: Georgia 22, Texas 19 (OT)
Big Ten Championship: Oregon vs. Penn State (live)
ACC Championship: SMU vs. Clemson (live)
Here is a look at updated CFP scenarios and projections:
No. 1 seed: Oregon (if the Ducks beat Penn State)
No. 2 seed: Georgia (SEC champion)
No. 3 seed: SMU (if the Mustangs beat Clemson)
No. 4 seed: Arizona State (Big 12 champion)
No. 5 seed: Notre Dame (11-1 overall)
No. 6 seed: Penn State (if the Nittany Lions lost to Oregon)
No. 7 seed: Indiana (11-1 overall)
No. 8 seed: Texas (lost to Georgia in SEC title game)
No. 9 seed: Ohio State (10-2 overall)
No. 10 seed: Tennessee (10-2 overall)
No. 11 seed: Boise State (MWC champion)
No. 12 seed: Alabama (9-3 overall)
* Oregon will likely secure the top-overall seed if the Ducks defeat Penn State in the Big Ten title game. Penn State would have a strong case to be the top-overall seed if it beats Oregon. Both will likely be included in the playoff, regardless of outcome.
*SMU will likely secure a first-round bye if the Mustangs defeat Clemson in the ACC title game. However, SMU’s spot in the 12-team field could be in jeopardy if Clemson wins.
