If U-Dub wins, they go to the show and the Buffs go to the Rose Bowl as runners-up. If the Buffs win, they go to the Rose Bowl as Pac-12 champs, since they don't have a shot at the show.

In the B1G, I imagine the winner of Wisky/State Pen goes to Pasadena if it doesn't crack the bracket, otherwise the loser goes.

And I wouldn't worry too much about Clemson honking to Va. Tech. U-Dub has a much tougher row to hoe against the Buffs.

Shouldn't they go to to the Rosey Bowl if the Ralphies lose?

Even if they lose they still have more conference wins than USC

We may have to wait until Tuesday.

I really hate conference championship games.

We may have the winner and loser of the B1G championship game beaten out by Ohio State and Michigan.

The Buffs blew it big. Which is fine with me.

Did I mention lately that I hate Conference Championship games?

They are redundant, unnecessary and ruin playoff possibilities.

Example: Ohio State will go to the CFP but the winner of tonight's B1G Championship won't.

Nate Silver (I know he's not too popular around here anymore) has Washington at 97 % to make the Playoff. Michigan's odds are miniscule.

I expect if Clemson loses the Big Ten winner will get the #4 seed, and UW will go to #3.
