Can the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs sweep the No. 2 Texas Longhorns on Saturday and guarantee themselves a place in a College Football Playoff quarterfinals? A likely Sugar Bowl berth and the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the CFP are on the line in this high-stakes matchup. The Bulldogs went to Austin and dominated the Longhorns on October 19th, 30-15, handing Texas its only loss during the regular season. Georgia, however, has scuffled since then and needed eight overtimes to beat in-state rival Georgia Tech last Friday. In doing so, the Bulldogs all but guaranteed themselves a spot in the top-12 even if they lose in the SEC Championship Game. So which team will take home hardware on Saturday in Atlanta?
The latest college football odds via SportsLine consensus list Texas as the 2.5-point favorite and the over/under is 50.5. Texas is the -147 money-line favorite (risk $147 to win $100), while Georgia is the +123 underdog (risk $100 to win $123).

Top college football conference championship picks
After diving into all nine games from college football Championship Week, Cohen is high on the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions (+3, 50.5) to pull the upset against the No. 1 Oregon Ducks in the Big Ten Championship Game, 23-20. The winner of this contest in Indianapolis is locked into one of the top two seeds in the College Football Playoff and will play a quarterfinal game at the Rose Bowl on January 1. Oregon enters undefeated at 12-0, while Penn State is 11-1 after dropping a November home contest vs. No. 6 Ohio State, 20-13.
While Penn State is just 1-13 vs. top-5 teams in James Franklin's tenure, the Nittany Lions are 1-0 in the Big Ten Championship Game under his leadership. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is 0-1 in conference title games, losing last year to Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Did Wisconsin show Penn State the blueprint to keeping Oregon's offense in check three weeks ago? Cohen believes this to be the case, which is why he expects the Nittany Lions to play ball control and keep the potent Ducks offense off the field as much as possible.
