College Football Update
After 13th ranked (11-2) Oregon disposed of 5th rated (11-2) Utah in last night’s Pac 12 title tilt, the “set up” is there for ABC’s coverage of the Big 12 title game (one loss Oklahoma a 9 point favorite vs one loss, Baylor). That game begins around noon, Eastern Time.
In all likelihood, the winner of that game coupled with an LSU (a touchdown favorite) win vs Georgia in the CBS/SEC title tilt, will make the 4 team college playoff. That game begins around 4 P.M. Eastern Time.
It is almost certain they will be joined by the three undefeated teams, LSU, Ohio State (top ranked and big favorites vs Wisconsin in tonight’s BIG Ten title tilt on Fox) and Clemson (4 touchdown favorites vs Virginia, in tonight’s ABC/ACC title tilt).
Georgia’s lone national title came in 1980. By far, their biggest play was a “Buck” Belue to Lindsay Scott 92 yard touchdown pass in the last minute or so, vs Florida.
