TL;DR
- Only the SWAC championship game is set, with no College Football Playoff implications.
- Rivalry Week outcomes are critical for determining other conference championships and playoff berths.
- Conference championship games are scheduled for December 5th and 6th across multiple networks.
- The 2025-26 College Football Playoff selection show airs Sunday, December 7th on ESPN.
With the regular season's final weekend approaching, just one of ten conference championship games has been set, and that particular contest, the SWAC, has no bearing on the College Football Playoff conversation.
The outcomes of Rivalry Week matchups will be crucial for determining the conference championships next weekend, as teams compete for trophies and playoff berths nationwide.
The specific possibilities for the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC are too extensive to detail, but after everything is decided, several intriguing games are scheduled to kick off December.
Here's the full schedule of conference championship games for 2025:
