The Athletic has live coverage of Ohio State vs. Michigan from college football rivalry week.

On the final Saturday of the college football regular season, there’s plenty still at stake.

Friday’s games cleared up some of the conference championship picture: Georgia (SEC), Indiana (Big Ten), Texas Tech and BYU (Big 12) and North Texas (American) all punched their tickets to championship week.

But across the nine FBS conferences, only the Big 12 has a title matchup set entering Saturday’s games.

The scenarios for some, like the SEC and Big Ten, are relatively simple. As for the ACC … well, time to study up on tiebreakers.

Here are all of the possible conference title game matchups — and what needs to happen Saturday to get there.
