By the end of the day, five conference championship trophies and four spots in the College Football Playoff will be handed out.

Kicking off conference championship weekend is the Big 12 championship game between No. 6 Texas Tech (No. 4 in CFP rankings) and No. 11 BYU (No. 11 in CFP rankings). This game could impact the rest of the day and how the field is set up on Sunday, Dec. 7 — if the Cougars can pull off the upset.

There’s then the SEC championship game between No. 3 Georgia (No. 3 in CFP rankings) and No. 10 Alabama (No. 9 in CFP rankings), the site of “College GameDay” in Week 15. The Crimson Tide will need to replicate its game plan — a big passing game from Ty Simpson — from earlier this season to beat Georgia again. A win for Alabama will be its first SEC title in the post-Nick Saban era, while a win for Georgia will give Kirby Smart’s squad back-to-back SEC titles and three titles in the last four years.

The nightcap features No. 1 Ohio State (No. 1 in CFP rankings) and No. 2 Indiana (No. 2 in CFP rankings) clashing in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis, and No. 16 Virginia (No. 17 in CFP rankings) and Duke meeting up in the ACC championship in Charlotte. A win by the five-loss Blue Devils would create chaos in the 12-team CFP field, potentially admitting two Group of Five programs into the CFP field.

Host of TNT’s “Inside NBA” Ernie Johnson is the celebrity guest picker for Week 15. Here’s a look at how “College GameDay” picked each of the conference championship matchups in Week 15, including the Army-Navy game next weekend:
