Conference Championship and CFP Predictions; Brian Hartline to USF

Championship Weekend has arrived, and the College Football Playoff race is tighter than ever. In this episode, Blake Biscardi, David Wertheim, and Grant Kincaid break down all four major conference title matchups and predict who will rise, who will fall, and who will punch their ticket to the CFP.

We start in the Big Ten, where Ohio State looks to cap its dominant season against an Indiana team playing fearless football. Then it’s off to the ACC for Virginia vs. Duke, a clash of styles with major New Year’s Six implications. The Big 12 brings the chaos as Texas Tech and BYU meet in a high-variance, must-watch showdown. And in the SEC, Georgia and Alabama renew their heavyweight rivalry in a game that could reshape the entire postseason.

We close with a full breakdown of the Playoff bubble—Alabama, Notre Dame, BYU, Miami, Vanderbilt, and Texas—detailing each team’s path, odds, and what results they need to survive Championship Saturday.
