College football’s regular season is in the books, but before bowl season kicks off, teams still have to pass through one more hurdle: conference championship weekend. Some teams have playoff bids locked up, while others need an upset to climb up in the postseason rankings.
Whether you’re an Ohio State fan hoping to sneak back into the playoff or a Tulane fan eyeing Cotton Bowl tickets, here’s your guide to the championship weekend’s best games.
2022 PAC-12 Championship Game
#12 Utah vs. #4 USC | FOX
The Pac-12 Football Championship Game features a rematch between USC and Utah, which handed the 11–1 Trojans their only loss in a narrow 43–42 game. Teams at the edge of the playoff race are likely keeping an eye on this game—if USC loses, it opens the door for Ohio State or Alabama to potentially snag a playoff bid.

2022 Big 12 Championship Game
#13 Kansas State vs. #3 TCU | ABC
Kansas State enters the Big 12 Championship Game on a dominant three-game winning streak against Baylor, West Virginia, and Kansas. But on TCU’s end, the Horned Frogs already beat the Wildcats once this season, and they’re coming off last week’s stats-padding 62–14 win against Iowa State.

2022 SEC Championship Game
#11 LSU vs. #1 Georgia | CBS
LSU comes into the SEC Championship Game on the heels of a backbreaking loss against Texas A&M that all but ended their playoff hopes and left quarterback Jayden Daniel in a walking boot. As a consolation prize, they’ll face the whirring death machine that is Georgia.
Y’all…

2022 Big Ten Championship Game
Purdue vs. #2 Michigan | FOX
After casting aspersions at Michigan’s downfield offense last week, this watch guide owes an apology to the Wolverines following their 45–23 win over Ohio State. Did Jim Harbaugh intentionally keep Michigan’s explosive plays under wraps all season before springing them on Ohio State at the last second? Probably not! But was it still hilarious to see? Absolutely!
