Championship Week is here. It’s the most exciting weekend on the college football calendar, with the best in each league set to square off in epic showdowns with playoff berths on the line, right? Well, actually …
If we’re being honest, this is the least attractive slate of conference title contests we’ve seen in recent memory. The playoff foursome is all but determined, and every major conference finale has a participant with at least three losses.
The lack of buzz isn’t due to a single factor – that just happens to be how this season unfolded. Even those conferences that went away from division formats to set up their title games couldn’t avoid having a multi-loss team find its way into the final.
