The top matchup pits Georgia as an underdog against Texas in the SEC Championship. The table below lists the spread, moneyline, and total for every 2024 CFB conference championship game, along with the date and time.

2024 CFB Conference Championship Game Odds

The tightest spread on the board is in the MAC, where Miami (OH) is favored by just 1 point over rival Ohio. In the Big Ten, Oregon lays a field goal to Penn State, while Army is giving 4 points to Tulane in the American.

The most notable spread, however, is in the SEC Championship Game. Georgia enters as a slight underdog against Texas in the SEC Championship odds. The Bulldogs dominated the Longhorns in the regular season and are 8-4 ATS as an underdog under Kirby Smart.

Georgia vs Texas Odds & Early Prediction

In what’s likely the best matchup of all the 2024 CFB conference championship games, Georgia battles Texas in Atlanta. The Bulldogs enter as small underdogs in this rematch of their early-season meeting. Back then, the Dawgs stunned the then No. 1-ranked Longhorns by a 30-15 score in Austin.

UGA’s defense was utterly dominant in the first meeting. They recorded seven sacks and forced four turnovers, which the offense converted into 17 points. Running back Trevor Etienne scored three TDs, with two set up by cornerback Daylen Everette’s takeaways.

Georgia solidified their place in the championship with a wild eight-overtime win over Georgia Tech. The Longhorns, meanwhile, secured their SEC Championship berth by fending off Texas A&M to win in their regular-season finale.

Prior to this game, Texas led the all-time series 4-1, including a 28-21 win in the 2019 Sugar Bowl. The Longhorns got a wake-up call with the loss against UGA, but it’s hard to argue they’ve deserved to be favored for the rematch.

I like the Dawgs here to reclaim the SEC Championship after falling to Bama last year. UGA sacked the Texas quarterbacks seven times in their first game and clearly won the battle in the trenches. Carson Beck also threw three picks in that game, which I don’t see happening again. The score wasn’t reflective of how dominant UGA truly was.

• Georgia vs Texas Pick: UGA ML (+104)

Penn State vs Oregon Odds & Early Prediction

Oregon (12-0, 8-4 ATS) has been the class of the Big Ten all season long. The Ducks have emerged as the clear favorite to win the conference in their first year as a member. They capped off their regular season with a dominant 49-21 win over rival Washington, showcasing their offensive firepower and elite defense.

Penn State (11-1, 9-3 ATS) has been on a roll of its own, covering the spread in four straight games. The Nittany Lions punctuated their regular season with a 44-7 drubbing of Maryland. They outgained the Terrapins 412-194 in total yardage.

The Nittany Lions’ offense has found new life down the stretch behind quarterback Drew Allar and dynamic tight end Tyler Warren. Since losing to Ohio State, Penn State is averaging 39.5 points over their last four games.

While PSU is catching fire at the right time, James Franklin’s track record in big games can’t be ignored. The veteran coach holds a troubling 1-13 record against teams ranked in the top five of the AP poll.

This Oregon team feels like a team of destiny, and I trust Dillon Gabriel much more than I trust Drew Allar. The Nittany Lions faced one elite team this season — Ohio State. In that game, they couldn’t generate any explosive plays and mustered just 270 yards of offense.

• Penn State vs Oregon pick: Oregon -3 (-110)

Clemson vs SMU Odds & Early Prediction

Clemson (9-3, 7-1) is back in the ACC Championship Game for the 10th time in program history after getting an assist from Syracuse in Week 14. The Orange rallied from a 21-0 deficit to stun Miami, 42-38, opening the door for the Tigers to reach Charlotte.

It was a fortunate turn of events for Clemson after stumbling in their regular-season finale against rival South Carolina. The 17-14 loss snapped a seven-game winning streak. It also likely ended any chance of the Tigers earning a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff.

SMU (11-1, 8-0) had already wrapped up its spot in the title game. Still, they put an exclamation point on a stellar regular season with a 38-6 rout of Cal. The Mustangs have been a revelation in their first year in the ACC, with their only blemish coming in a Week 2 loss to BYU.

Quarterback Kevin Jennings has blossomed into a star under head coach Rhett Lashlee. He’s thrown for 3,215 yards and 32 touchdowns against just five interceptions. SMU’s high-powered offense averages 40.2 points per game and will test a Clemson defense that has been stout most of the year.

The Tigers counter with their own game-changing quarterback in Cade Klubnik, who has accounted for 36 total touchdowns. Clemson has the talent to win if Klubnik can avoid the critical mistakes that plagued him against South Carolina.

In a toss-up between two evenly matched teams, I’m rolling with the Mustangs to take the W. SMU’s offense should make just enough plays to outduel the Tigers and clinch a spot in the playoff.
