The Solid Verbal: Championship Week mega super ultra preview

Alright, enough arguing, let’s settle this on the field before we can argue even more.

We’ve only got one more Saturday with a slate of games, so let’s ask and give a full 83% answering questions:

• Was Oregon right to fire Mark Helfrich after a down season? Who should the Ducks be targeting as a replacement?

• Which teams would make for the most interesting/entertaining playoff and why don’t Ohio State and Michigan fall into that group?

• Why is covering a pretty significant spread vs Florida on a neutral site a tough ask for this Alabama team in the SEC Championship?

• When does Colorado need to play particularly well in the Pac-12 Championship Game to match up favorably with a Washington team playing with big momentum after the Apple Cup?

• Why can Virginia Tech keep it close and put a scare into a Clemson team that appears to be rolling?

• With Wisconsin and Penn State looking pretty similar, where might the edge be for either team?

• It’s not a conference championship game (but it sorta is), but where are Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, who both boast big offenses, vulnerable?

...and much more!
