College Football Playoff Drama Heats Up: Which Teams Are on the Brink of Collapse or Triumph?
Texas Tech will essentially lock up a spot in the Big 12 Championship if it wins at home as a 10-point favorite against BYU on Saturday. If the Red Raiders do win that game, they’ll just have to win three more (against UCF, at West Virginia and perhaps against the same BYU team in the Big 12 title game) as at least a touchdown favorite. Tech has a ton of work still to do, but it’s all manageable work. They’d have to lose a significant upset to miss the field.
Oregon, with one loss, still has three non-gimmes left on its schedule: at Iowa this week, vs. USC at home in Week 13 and at Washington in Week 14. The former has an elite defense, and the latter two have excellent offenses. Still, the Ducks would have to lose two of those three games as touchdown-ish favorites to not make it.
