Championship weekend live: Updates, stakes, College Football Playoff takeaways
Written by I Dig SportsConference championship weekend is here, and it's loaded with stakes. Seven of the top eight teams in the College Football Playoff rankings will play for titles this weekend. With four undefeated teams and four highly ranked one-loss teams, every game will impact who reaches the semifinals.
The No. 3 Washington Huskies and No. 5 Oregon Ducks kick off the festivities. Friday's Pac-12 title game is almost certainly a winner-gets-in situation. It's also a rematch of one of the best games of the 2023 season -- the Huskies' 36-33 win in Seattle on Oct. 14.
