This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the regular season finale with plenty of impressive games to settle things ahead of Championship Saturday and College Football Playoff Selection Sunday. Now it’s time to make our final picks for the day’s most important encounters.
This includes three historic rivalries, two of which will have a direct impact on how the future playoff semifinals will ultimately play out.
Ohio State and Michigan go head to head in a No. 2 vs. No. 3 team battle with a trip to the Big Ten title game and the playoffs at stake.
USC and Notre Dame clash as the Trojans have already booked a spot in the Pac-12 championship game and sit just on the outsides of the top-four standings.
And of course the Iron Bowl, which for once has no impact on the national championship race unless Alabama can capitalize on some chaos at the top of the leaderboard and work its way back into the bottom four.
