Championship weekend is upon us. The Week 14 college football odds are always as tight as could be, and this year isn't an exception. At least two of the four spots in the CFP are up for grabs, and basically all of the spots in the New Year's Six are left to be determined, too. The number of games isn't what we're used to seeing, but the magnitude of said games is out of this world.

Games of the Week
Washington vs. Colorado – Friday 9 p.m. ET
Washington has already survived one of these really big games against Washington State, but this is the biggest of the big games against Colorado. It's certainly the most unbelievable Pac-12 Championship Game in its brief history, especially since the Buffs had won a total of just two conference games in the Mike MacIntyre era prior to this season. Alas, Colorado earned its way here, and it still believes it has a shot to play for all the marbles as well, especially if Clemson gets upset by Virginia Tech in a game played the next day. The Buffs though, have a loss to Michigan, a team that doesn't seem likely to play in the CFP after its loss to Ohio State.
On the field, this is a great battle between two teams that have played significantly greater defense than expected this season. A lot of attention is going to be paid to Sefo Liufau and Jake Browning under center, but these two teams are allowing under 330 yards per game, and both are allowing just 4.7 yards per play. This should be a good one in spite of the fact that the Huskies are favored by a TD.
Wisconsin vs. Penn State – Saturday 8 p.m. ET
By the time this one kicks off, we'll know what the situation is for the Big Ten Championship Game. We'll already know if Washington has been upset, and we'll know what happened in the Oklahoma/Oklahoma State game. The only item up in the air will be if Clemson loses to Virginia Tech. You'd like to think that losses by either Washington or Clemson would make this a play-in game for the playoff.
Penn State really beat the odds this year, but they had a hand in the form of a Michigan loss to Ohio State at the end of the season. The Nittany Lions aren't great from an advanced statistical standpoint, but they've flat out gotten the job done, winning all of the games they've needed to win to get to this point. If they beat the Badgers, they'll have the Big Ten title and a win over an Ohio State team that is presumed to be in the playoff at this point, and that's going to make it really hard to keep them out.
Wisconsin is favored in this one though, and it'll have a resume that includes wins over four teams that were ranked in the Top 10 at the time they played against it.
