No SEC wrap-up this week because the conference games have concluded, so let’s take a unique look at the winners of all the conference championships that took place this weekend. With the College Football Playoff committee deliberating on the top four teams, Alabama upended the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs, muddying the waters and throwing a wrench in the playoff standings. In another conference, Texas dominated Oklahoma State, firmly securing their spot in the final four. The upsets continued as Florida State, led by a third-string quarterback, overcame Louisville, raising questions about their potential entry into the playoffs without Jordan Travis.
The mountain west conference witnessed a surprise as Boise State defeated the strong UNLV team, while the American conference crowned SMU as champions after an impressive victory over Tulane. Meanwhile, Troy dominated Appalachian State in the Sun Belt championship, securing their place in the “Fun Belt.” Additionally, the ACC saw an unconventional win for Florida State, despite starting a third-string true freshman quarterback.
Notably, Michigan’s decisive win over Iowa propelled them into the College Football Playoffs, and Washington’s triumph over Oregon earned them a coveted spot in the playoffs. Each team’s hard-fought victories made for an exciting weekend of college football championship games.
