It goes by too quickly.
After 14 weeks of its usual mayhem, college football’s regular season has drawn to a close—with a playoff field ready to be selected.
Friday brought an apocalyptic de facto end to the Pac-12, as Washington topped Oregon to polish off an undefeated regular season. Texas won the Big 12 early Saturday with a blowout victory over Oklahoma State.
Later Saturday, Alabama upended Georgia in the SEC title game. In the evening, Florida State and Michigan added wins over Louisville and Iowa in the ACC and Big Ten championships, respectively. Liberty and SMU were notable Group of Five conference winners.
