The conference championship games are all set as Week 14 of the 2024 college football season came to a close. With the last week of the regular season behind us, it’s now time to look ahead to crowning a champion in the nine conferences that have a conference championship game to do so.
Let’s let Vegas go head-to-head with the CFN Football Playoff Meter to tell us who to bet on in each conference championship game.
Georgia vs. Texas Odds
The big one — the one for all the SEC marbles. After Texas defeated Texas A&M, it was the Longhorns who earned the right to play for the SEC Championship in their first season in the conference.
Texas will go up against Georgia in a rematch from an in-season matchup that saw the Bulldogs topple the Longhorns, 30-15, in a classic.

Penn State vs. Oregon Odds
The Penn State Nittany Lions were the benefactor of Michigan upsetting Ohio State and will now take part in the Big Ten Championship Game against Oregon. These two teams did not meet in the regular season.
Now, Oregon can win the Big Ten in their first season or James Franklin can win his first Big Ten title since 2016 and just his second overall.

Clemson vs. SMU Odds
The Clemson Tigers needed some luck to get in to the ACC Championship Game. And that luck came by way of the most unlikely of teams — the Syracuse Orange. By defeating Miami, Syracuse sent Clemson into the ACC title game against SMU, who finished with an unblemished ACC record this season.
SMU, like many others it seems, has the chance to make history as the first ACC team to win the conference in their first season.

Arizona State vs. Iowa State Odds
The Arizona State Sun Devils punched their ticket via defeating archrival Arizona in Week 14 and then getting some help from BYU in the final moments of the weekend. Iowa State knocked off Kansas State in a thriller and the Cyclones will now (thanks to BYU?) face off against the Wildcats in yet another matchup of teams who did not play this seaosn.
However, Arizona State making the Big 12 Championship Game gives us yet another team that can win the conference in their first season.

Tulane vs. Army Odds
The first of the conference championship games to be set, it should be noted that this game opened up as Tulane -3.5 but immediately moved up a point in favor of the Green Wave. Army will play Tulane at home before then, and then they will play in the annual Army-Navy Game a week later.

UNLV vs. Boise State Odds
A rematch to end all rematches, the winner of the UNLV vs. Boise State game will clinch a berth in the College Football Playoffs. Boise State won the first meeting between these two teams and this should be seen as another potential Heisman showcase for star RB Ashton Jeanty.
UNLV and Boise will meet as the only two Group of Five teams to be ranked by the college football playoff committee, with the winner standing as the highest-ranked Group of Five program, and thus, would earn the spot in the playoffs.

Boise State -5.5 - Moneyline
Boise State -218, UNLV +180

58.5 points
Ohio vs. Miami-OH Odds
An all-southern-Ohio MAC Championship Game came to be on Friday when Ohio knocked off Ball State and Miami defeated Bowling Green. It was a tight race in the MAC this year, and in a rematch of a thrilling contest earlier in the year, Miami will take on Ohio from Ford Field in Detroit.
Miami won their earlier contest, but both programs are riding long winning streaks into the MAC Championship Game. The Bobcats have won five in a row while the RedHawks have won seven in a row, dropping only one game to a non-Power Four school this year.

Western Kentucky vs. Jacksonville State Odds
A rematch of the game that ultimately sent Western Kentucky to the CUSA Championship Game is set to take place as the CUSA Championship Game. It was Western Kentucky who punched their ticket in Week 14 by defeating Jacksonville State and simultaneously knocking out Sam Houston in the process.
WKU beat JSU in Week 14, but that was only after JSU had locked up the CUSA title game appearance. But these two teams are certainly evenly matched.

Jacksonville State -0.5 - Vegas Line
Jacksonville State -1.5 - Moneyline
Jacksonville State -118, Western Kentucky -102

Marshall vs. Louisiana Odds
The Sun Belt East belongs to Marshall while the Sun Belt West belongs to Louisiana. And now, the two will meet for the Sun Belt Championship. It took a thrilling double-overtime victory for Marshall to punch their ticket as they won six straight down the stretch to clinch their spot.
Louisiana, on the other hand, finished 10-2, only dropping a two-point loss in conference play and a one-possession game to AAC Championship Game participant Tulane in the process. Don’t be surprised if you see Louisiana creep up in the College Football Playoff Rankings in Week 14.
*The host site for this game will be announced on Sunday, until they, CFN kept the line as a neutral site game
