The college football regular season has officially come to an end, and now all attention shifts to one of the most exciting moments of the year: the 2025 conference championship games. With ten titles on the line throughout the day, fans are especially focused on four major matchups that will directly influence the College Football Playoff picture.

The first major result of the day came from the Big 12 Championship, where No. 4 Texas Tech (12-1) delivered a dominant performance against No. 11 BYU (11-2). After falling behind early, the Red Raiders responded with 34 unanswered points, seizing control of the game and capturing the conference title. With this convincing victory, Texas Tech has all but secured a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff.

With the Big 12 decided, national attention now turns to Atlanta, where No. 3 Georgia will face its longtime rival, No. 9 Alabama (10-2), in the SEC Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The showdown — set for 4 p.m. ET — is expected to be one of the most tightly contested games of the day, considering the history between the programs and the major CFP implications.

Later in the evening, the spotlight shifts to another heavyweight clash: the Big Ten Championship, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. In this matchup, No. 1 Ohio State takes on surprising contender No. 2 Indiana, in a game that may determine not just the conference champion but the No. 1 overall seed in the Playoff. Both teams feature elite defenses, setting the stage for a high-intensity, high-stakes battle.

At the same time in Charlotte, the ACC title will be decided as No. 17 Virginia (10-2) faces Duke (7-5) at Bank of America Stadium. Virginia enters as the clear favorite, but Duke has gained momentum late in the season and hopes to pull off an upset with its improved offensive rhythm.

Beyond the marquee matchups, the Big 12 Championship offered numerous memorable moments:

• BYU struck first, scoring on a wildcat run from LJ Martin.

• Texas Tech answered with authority, connecting on a deep touchdown from Behren Morton to Coy Eakin.

• A series of BYU turnovers shifted the momentum heavily toward the Red Raiders.

• Linebacker Ben Roberts stole the show, recording two interceptions, including an impressive one-handed catch.

• Texas Tech’s balanced approach on offense and suffocating defense allowed them to take full control and never look back.

With several conference titles still to be decided, the rest of the night promises intensity, rivalry drama, and major implications for the postseason.
