"All Chips In" (College Edition)

This is the last meaningful college games until bowl season starts in the upcoming weeks.  These conference championship games have BCS implications all through them. Ohio State has to win to play in the national title game,  Northern Illinois needs to win to finish in BCS top 12 to play in a BCS bowl game. The winner of the SEC championship game is hoping to jump over a unbeaten Ohio State, and Florida State just has to win which may not  be that easy.

ACC Championship Game (Charlotte North Carolina)

Florida State is a 29.0 point favorite against Duke Blue Devils the surprise team of college football this year. That is the largest point spread out of all the conference championship games. Everybody knows about FSU and their freshman quarterback Jamie Winston. Even though their defense don't get as much attention as it should they are one of the best defensive units in college football. But there is something about the Blue Devils this year, that make this game intriguing. Duke is playing in it's first conference championship game, in spite most experts had them finishing last in the ACC Coastal division. FSU in my opinion is the best team in college football evem better then the Tide. But I don't see them coving this spread . Duke is a tough team who does not quit when they are facing adversity. I'm going "All Chips in" on the points.

MAC Championship Game (Detroit Ford Field)

Any other time the MAC championship game would not be on anybodies radar. There is a few things that could make this a must see on Friday night. First you have Jordan Lynch the best athlete not talked about in FBS. His last game he played he ran for 321 rushing yards and he is their quarterback. This the first time Lynch and NIU offense have face a defense this good. Bowling Green is ranked 5th in FBS only giving up 134.8 fushing yards a game. If NIU can beat Bowling Green it would be their third straight conference title, with the chance  of playing in a BCS bowl game also. NIU is not favorite by much (3.5), but I'm still "All Chips in" on Northern Illinois.

Pac-12 Championship Game (Tempe Arizona)

The Pac-12 championship game is the only one that is not played on a neutral site. The home team Arizona State is the favorite (3.0) over the visiting Stanford Cardinals. These two played earlier this year and Stanford won 42-28. I like Stanford in this game they are more of a stable team and seem to be more healthy then the Sun Devils,  who will be playing without their leading rusher Marion Grice for the second straight game. I'm "All Chips in" on the Stanford Cardinals.

SEC Championship Game (Atlanta Georgia)

Auburn vs Missouri for the SEC title. Nobody saw this match up when the season started. This is the only championship game that either winner could possibly be in the national title game Auburn is the 2.0 point favorite over Missouri in this very close game. Auburn is coming off clound nine after pulling the biggest upset this year by beating Alabama. Which could become their downfall if they don't bring there "A" game and is still thinking about the win over the Tide. If Auburn struggle to run the ball like they did the first half  of the Tide game they will be in trouble. Missouri has a high power offense and Auburn's defense is not as stout as is once was. But I'm still going "All Chips in" on the Auburn Tigers.

Big Ten Championship Game (Indianapolis Indiana)

The Buckeyes was very close to losing to Michigan on Saturday, but now they are one game away from possibly playing FSU for the crystal Sears football. OSU is 6.0 point favorite against Michigan State their toughest foe this year. The best offense in the Big Ten is facing the best defense in the Big Ten. I believe Michigan State has the best secondary in college football, the problem is that the Buckeyes are very very good at running the ball, and that great secondary may not be much of a factor. Nobody has been able to stop the two headed monster of Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde. Michigan State best way to win the game is to make it a defense struggle, cause they don't have the offense to match score for score with the Buckeyes. I see the Buckeyes winning this game and like the 6.0 points, so I'm "All Chips in" with the Buckeyes.
