We have the best day of the college football calendar ahead of us! Which game do you have the most interest in?

BH: The Big 12 and Big 10 champions are probably going to be snooze fests. That being said, I’ll be locked in on Texas because they need a convincing victory to help their chances. The SEC title game is obviously huge, but the ACC Championship has the most impact on the final four in my opinion. If Louisville can pull off an upset, the chaos ensues.

MK: The SEC championship is the best game today. I would’ve said the Pac-12, but they played last night for some reason.

JA: It’s the SEC championship without question. I hope Georgia smacks Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide in the mouth.

Our Washington Huskies won the Pac-12 championship last night. Did you see enough from Washington that tells you they’ll win it all?

BH: Yes, yes, and yes some more. We’ve been saying it since November 11. The Huskies are taking this thing all the way. Dillon Johnson getting a few weeks to ice up is massive for Washington’s chances. I’ll be rooting for a Georgia loss and a FSU win so we can set up a first-round matchup against the Noles.

MK: Washington has the offensive firepower and playmakers on defense to win it all. They are legit and have been all year. Go Huskies 

JA: This is a special year where I really think any team can win it all. LETS GO HUSKIES.

What is your final four after today?

BH: As much as I want chaos, I don’t think we see much of it. Georgia and Michigan win to keep their respective seeds, Washington finishes with the 3-seed, and Texas sneaks into the 4-seed after Louisville takes down Florida State.

MK: I have Georgia, Michigan, and Washington locked in. Florida State captures the four with a win, but if they lose I am taking THE Ohio State Buckeyes to sneak in at four.

JA: I’m going with the chalk. The rankings won’t change after today. Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and FSU make it to the playoff in that order.

‘Round and ’round they go

We’ve been hot with the college football bets. What is everyone’s favorite today?

BH: The Tulane Big Wave is one of the best teams in the country when healthy. SMU is not. Tulane covers the 3-point spread in the AAC Championship game.

MK: I think Michigan (-21.5) should hit pretty easily. Jim Harbaugh is back and Iowa won’t score 10 points. The Wolverines win by at least 25.

JA: I got three for you. Michigan (-20.5), Texas (-14), and Florida State money line.

‘Round and round they go

I need an underdog on this championship Saturday.

BH: Toledo is 8-0 in the MAC heading into the championship. That would be more impressive if the MAC didn’t have a down year. I like the underdog in what should be a close game. Give me Miami Ohio (+7)

MK: I like Louisville a lot. They’ll beat Florida State, knocking them out of the Playoff (thank god). If you want some more juice I’d take a stab on App State Money line (+164)

JA: It’s a bad day to be an underdog, but if I have to pick one, let’s go with Bama over UGA.
