USC and Oregon will battle in Eugene with the winner having the inside track as the 3rd team from the BIG 10 in the CFP. Notre Dame and Utah look to avoid let downs at home while Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech fight for the top of the ACC and Cincinnati could throw the BIG 12 into chaos with an upset win at home over BYU.
