Championship weekend started simply enough, with Washington beating Oregon to stay unbeaten and win the Pac-12 title. The Huskies assured themselves of a spot in the College Football Playoff with Friday night's win.
Things got a little tricky from there.
Alabama delivered the big blow Saturday, knocking off top-ranked Georgia for the SEC title and muddying the water for the CFP selection committee deciding teams' fates Sunday.
Texas, which beat Alabama handily in Tuscaloosa early this season, needed a convincing win to keep its slim CFP hopes alive. The Longhorns delivered in a rout of Oklahoma State for the Big 12 title in their last year in the league.
