Who do ya' got in the conference championships?

Friday
- Oregon vs. Arizona
Arizona gave Oregon its only loss of the year when it took them down at Oregon back at the beginning of October. Arizona ran the ball a bunch of times and managed to outgain Oregon. If they can play anything like that again, they may win. I still expect Oregon to take this game as they've been playing well lately, but they haven't played an above average team since back on October 11th when they beat UCLA by 12. Oregon by 3 in this one.
Saturday
- Alabama vs. Missouri
I'll take Alabama in this one. This is a bad match-up for Missouri, which thrives on its defense but which is really unreliable on offense. The Tigers have improved a bit offensively over the last few weeks, but I just don't think they can count on scoring enough points to take this one. Then again, they looked a lot better against Arkansas than Bama did. Alabama by 10+
- FSU vs. GT
FSU will be able to move the ball against GT, but GT's defense has been playing really opportunistically lately, and Winston has been throwing the ball to the other team much more frequently than last year. FSU's defense is also not as strong as it was last year, when it showed that it could be disruptive against an option attack in the national championship game. FSU is favored by 4.5, which means Vegas is expecting a close game. However, I think FSU wins this one by two scores in a shootout. FSU by 10+
- Wisconsin vs. Ohio State
Wisconsin boasts a strong defense and a stronger running game with Melvin Gordon toting the rock. But they've also inconsistent this year, losing to Northwestern and nearly losing to Illinois and Iowa. Ohio State will be down to its third QB, so Wisconsin will probably load the box against the run, which they're already good at stopping. Given that Ohio State is middle of the road in rush defense, I think Wisconsin can win this one. Wisconsin by 3.
- KSU vs. Baylor
This game may very well determine whether Baylor gets into the playoff or not, so you know they'll be playing hard. Baylor may have too much speed for a stingy KSU defense, so I'll take them in this game. Baylor by 9.

I like all of your projections, makes sense. However, to completely send eSECpn and the college football playoff committee into a death spiral, I hope Alabama loses to Mizzou. That would be fun to watch!

Agree with all except the last one.

Bill Snyder has a nasty habit of upsetting the apple cart when you least expect. Since most don't give KS much chance in this one, I think this is one of those times.
