With the regular season in the books, all eyes shift to Conference Championship weekend. No. 24 Tulane vs. No. 20 North Texas. No. 11 BYU vs. No. 4 Texas Tech.

The Advocate’s Koki Riley explains why he believes Texas should make the College Football Playoff field over Alabama and Miami in his latest AP Top-25 poll column.

Texas A&M fell four spots from No. 3 to No. 7 in the next-to-last College Football Playoff rankings after the Aggies' loss to Texas. The Aggies are still safely in the field and in line to host a first-round game.

Big Ten: No. 1 Ohio State (-4½) vs. No. 2 Indiana (7 p.m., FOX 32): In Indianapolis, the Hoosiers will be right in this thing — for a half. But it’s so, so hard to convert drives into touchdowns when the other team is, well, Ohio State. Buckeyes, 27-16. Last week: 8-2 straight-up, 5-4-1 against the spread. Season to date: 73-28, 50-50-1.
