This Saturday will answer a lot of questions to who will be in the College Football Playoff. Be careful because, depending on the results, there could be more questions than answers.
Pac-12
No. 5 Utah vs. No. 13 Oregon (Friday, 8 p.m. ET, ABC)
Line: Utah -6.5
Impact
Utah is playing for the opportunity to get into the College Football Playoff. They will need an impressive win and some help from LSU to get considered for one of the top four spots.
Prediction: Oregon +6.5
Big XII
No. 6 Oklahoma vs. No. 7 Baylor (noon ET, ABC)
Line: Oklahoma -9
Impact
Like Utah, the Sooners need to win and get some help. If Georgia loses, who has a better body of work? The Sooners or the Utes?
Prediction: Oklahoma -9
SEC
No. 2 LSU vs. No. 4 Georgia (4 p.m. ET, CBS)
Line: LSU -6.5
Impact
UGA is playing to stay in the top four. They should be able to do that just by winning. There is no need to garner style points.
LSU should be in no matter the result.
Prediction: Georgia +6.5
ACC
No. 3 Clemson vs. No. 24 Virginia (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
Line: Clemson -28.5

Win or lose, Clemson should be in even with a cupcake filled schedule.

Big Ten
No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 8 Wisconsin (8 p.m. ET, FOX)
Line: Ohio State -16.5
Impact
An impressive win by the Buckeyes and they solidify the number one spot in the College Football Playoff.
Like LSU, a loss doesn’t necessarily eliminate the Buckeyes.
Prediction: Wisconsin +16.5
