2023 Week 13 full wrap up

All of the Power 5 championship games are set.

ACC Championship:  Florida State Seminoles (8-0) vs. Louisville Cardinals (7-1)
Both teams clinched by virtue of having the two best records in conference.  No tiebreakers needed.

(UNC is the only ACC team to not play either championship participant.)

SEC Championship:  Georgia Bulldogs (8-0) vs. Alabama Crimson Tide (8-0)
Both teams clinched based on the best record in their divisions.  Every other SEC team has at least two conference losses.

Big Ten Championship:  Michigan Wolverines (9-0) vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (7-2)
Both teams had the best records in their respective division, no tiebreakers required.

Drive for 325:  In order to hit 325 points in 13 games, Iowa will need to score 109 points in the conference championship.  Or, they could average 67 points in the championship game and the bowl game to get to 350 in 14 games.

After 12 games:
Total points / Benchmark: 216 / 300
Points per game:  18

Big 12 Championship:  Texas Longhorns (8-1) vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-2)
While Texas had the best record in the conference, Oklahoma State clinched the #2 spot by virtue of a head-to-head tiebreaker over Oklahoma.  Every other team has at least 3 conference losses.

(Every Big 12 team played at least one of these two championship game teams.)

Pac-12 Championship:  Washington Huskies (9-0) vs. Oregon Ducks (8-1)
These teams had the best records in the conference.  No tiebreakers were needed as everyone else in the conference had at least two losses.  This championship game will be a rematch of the October game that Washington won by 3 points.

(UCLA is the only Pac-12 team to not play either championship participant.)

If the Pac-12 still had the North and South divisions, the championship game would have been Washington vs. Arizona.
