One more weekend before bowl season. What to watch when you're not watching Florida State vs. Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game.
For all you college football junkies out there, there is real, live, actual college football tonight, as UCF travels to East Carolina in a critical American Athletic Conference showdown (7:30 p.m., ESPN). Central Florida can clinch at least a share of the AAC title with a win. It wouldn't be the old Big East if there wasn't a three-way tie for first when the dust settles, now would it?
On Friday night, the MAC Championship between NIU and Bowling Green is on ESPN2 starting at 7:00 p.m. Watch that for a bit—remember, BC hosts NIU next season on the Heights—before flipping over to FOX for the Pac-12 Championship Game between #7 Arizona and #2 Oregon (9:00 p.m.). Oregon wins and the Ducks are in the inaugural College Football Playoff. Arizona wins and they have about as good a claim as any to be in the College Football Playoff field too.
Saturday features three games in the Big 12 as the conference attempts to determine its "one true champion." Pray for Iowa State on the road at TCU. The Horned Frogs will be looking to make one final closing argument against a pretty bad Cyclones team (Noon, ABC). Bedlam starts at 3:30 p.m. on Fox Sports 1, while K-State and Baylor bring it home at 7:45 p.m. on ESPN.
The SEC (4:00 p.m., CBS), ACC (8:00 p.m., ABC), Big Ten (8:00 p.m., FOX) and Mountain West (10:00 p.m., CBS) Championship Games all carry College Football Playoff / New Year's Six bowl implications, so you won't want to miss those games either.
