It’s conference championship weekend, baby! While seemingly most of the College Fooball Playoff bracket is set, there are a few games with huge implications, including the Big 12 title between BYU and Texas Tech.

Here are my predictions for each of the four Conference Championship games that take place tomorrow.

Big 12 Championship: BYU 21, Texas Tech 17

I know, Texas Tech got the best of BYU during the regular season, but the Cougars have more to play for with a Playoff berth on the line (Tech is likely in win or lose).

LJ Martin being fully healthy for the Cougars gives them a dimension that they didn’t have the last time these two met. I like the Cougars in a close one.

ACC Championship: Virginia 30, Duke 14

Virginia beat Duke handily earlier in the year, and I don’t see this result being any different. The betting line is Virginia -4, but I see them winning by more than just a field goal.

Big 10 Championship: Ohio State 24, Indiana 21

This one ought to be close. I think Indiana just doesn’t have the firepower to keep up with Ohio State’s explosive offense. Give me Ohio State on a game-winning field goal, but Indiana to cover.

SEC Championship: Georgia 21, Alabama 17

Alabama didn’t look all that good against Auburn, but neither did Georgia against Georgia Tech.

At this point in the season, I’m more inclined to pick the team that has no bad losses on its resume. This game has the tightest spread of them all (Georiga, -2) for a reason. It could go either way, but I think Georgia pulls off a close one.
