College football live updates, scores: BYU vs. Texas Tech in the Big 12 title game

Conference championship weekend is here, and College Football Playoff spots are up for grabs.

No. 20 Tulane locked up a spot in the playoff field with a handy 34-21 win over No. 24 North Texas and No. 25 James Madison kept its hopes alive with a win over Troy in the Sun Belt. All the Dukes need is for Duke to beat Virginia in the ACC title game and they will likely be in the postseason.

How will the rest of the conference championships shake out? Here’s how to watch all the college football action today (scroll for live updates).

No. 11 BYU vs. No. 4 Texas Tech (Big 12)Noon ET | ABC

At No. 4 in Tuesday’s CFP rankings, Tech is almost assuredly in the playoff even with a loss to BYU. But the Red Raiders are going to have the backing of a very partisan crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Cougars are in the playoff for the first time with a win over the Red Raiders.

No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 9 Alabama (SEC)4 p.m. ET | ABC

A win guarantees a first-round bye for the Bulldogs. It would also be Georgia’s third SEC title in the past four seasons. On the other side, a win gets the Crimson Tide into the playoff. A loss and, well, who knows with this committee. The disaster scenario for Alabama is a loss coupled with a BYU win.

No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 2 Indiana (Big Ten)8 p.m. ET | Fox

Whoever wins this game is the No. 1 seed in the playoff and heading to the Rose Bowl. Four more wins makes Ohio State — or Indiana — the first team in college football history to go 16-0. It’s fair to say a Big Ten title would mean a bit more to an Indiana program that’s been starved for football success over the years.

Duke vs. No. 17 Virginia (ACC)8 p.m. ET | ABC

The Blue Devils have the opportunity to throw a wrench into the 12-team playoff with a win. OK, maybe a Duke win wouldn’t be all that funny for ACC officials, but it’d be great for the idea that anyone has a chance to make the playoff now. For Virginia, a victory would continue what’s been a dream season for Tony Elliott’s team.

The Cougars defense held up at midfield and forced a punt to end the opening possession.

Big early moment for the Cougars.

The Red Raiders are starting fast with uptempo offense and they’re out over midfield in no time.

Virginia plays Duke this Saturday in the ACC championship, and the entire conference will be rooting so hard for the Cavaliers that Duke might as well be an out-of-conference opponent.

The 8-5 Blue Devils managed to win a five-way tiebreaker with Miami, Pitt, Georgia Tech and SMU despite the fact that literally every one of those teams finished with a better overall record than Duke. That’s obviously not Duke’s fault; you play the schedule you’re given, and the conference slate broke the Blue Devils’ way.

But a Duke win on Saturday would likely mean the ACC misses out on the College Football Playoff — and its multi-million-dollar payout.
