College Football Playoff predictions: Who's most likely to make the field

In the final weekend before the College Football Playoff field is revealed, the conference championship games were all about securing a spot or improving a seeding.

It was win-and-in for the Big 12 champion Arizona State Sun Devils, who rolled past the Iowa State Cyclones. Same for the Boise State Broncos. Behind 209 yards from Ashton Jeanty, they beat the UNLV Rebels for the Mountain West crown and the Group of 5's CFP spot.

The drama was saved for the SEC and ACC. The Georgia Bulldogs lost quarterbackCarson Beck to an injury, then were sparked by backup Gunner Stockton. Texas took it to overtime before Trevor Etienne won it for Georgia. The Clemson Tigers jumped out to a big lead on the SMU Mustangs and held on for the upset. That leaves questions about whether two-loss SMU will get in over a three-loss team that didn't play in its conference title game.

In the Big Ten, the Oregon Ducks piled up big plays to beat the Penn State Nittany Lions and secure the top spot.
