College football live scores, updates: Georgia vs. Texas

Posted on by Amelia Pressman

Conference Championship weekend is here.

The four power conference title games that will shape the College Football Playoff field take place on Saturday. The 12-team bracket will be announced on Sunday afternoon.

Arizona State opened Saturday with a blowout win over Iowa State in the Big 12 title game. Star RB Cam Skattebo totaled 208 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-19 Sun Devils win.

Here’s what we’ll be watching for the rest of the day (scroll down for live updates).

Time: 4 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas -3 | Overall: 49.5

Georgia used a dominating performance from its defensive front to overwhelm Texas in the first meeting, and Texas’ offensive line could be thinner on Saturday. The Georgian offensive also missed a few opportunities in this game. While a loss for the Bulldogs would also be their third of the season, given their current standings, it’s very hard to imagine Georgia being eliminated from the 12-team playoff field.

Time: 8 p.m. | TV: CBS | Line: Oregon -3.5 | Overall: 49.5

Is the Big Ten title game a play-in for the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff? The Ducks enter college football’s highest level as the only undefeated team, while Penn State took advantage of Ohio State’s loss to Michigan to sneak into the title game and move up a spot in the CFP rankings.

Time: 8 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: SMU -2.5 | Overall: 55.5

The ACC title game may have the most at stake. An SMU win likely gives the conference only one team in the College Football Playoff. A Clemson win could mean two conference berths, but only if the playoff committee retains an 11-2 SMU team over a 9-3 Alabama team that beat Miami (10-2) in the penultimate set on Tuesday ) overtaken by rankings.

  • CFP is watching closely…

  • Final: ASU 45, ISU 19

    Supported by Cam Skattebo’s 208 yards and 3 touchdowns, the Sun Devils won the Big 12 title in their first year in the conference.

  • Ohio wins MAC championship

    In the only other game this morning, the Miami (Ohio) Bobcats made a meal. That Anthony Tyus III touchdown run sealed the deal late in the fourth.

  • Landing at Iowa State

    The Cyclones reached the end zone for the first time since their opening game. Rocco Becht is back in the game and hits Jaylin Noel for a 25-yard touchdown with 7:27 left.

    You chose 2 but didn’t make it.

  • Iowa State adds FG

    The Cyclones finally managed to score again, especially with true freshman Connor Moberly at center in place of Rocco Becht after the big goal. But they have to settle for a Kyle Konrardy field goal in the red zone.

  • ASU player ejected for targeting

    The fourth quarter is underway and ASU’s Shamari Simmons has just been disqualified for targeting after a hard hit on Rocco Becht. That requires him to sit out the first half of ASU’s CFP first-round game.

  • Landing in Arizona State!

    Who else but Cam Skattebo? This time, the star didn’t even have to break a tackle as he caught a swing pass from Sam Leavitt and ran it 33 yards for a touchdown.

  • Fumble recovered by ASU!

    The Cyclones just can’t stop the bleeding. Abu Sama put the ball on the ground again and the Sun Devils had the ball right back.

    There are five minutes left in the third quarter, but the game feels like it’s over.

  • Landing in Arizona State!

    The Sun Devils wasted no time after the turnover as Sam Leavitt hit Xavier Guillory for a 25-yard touchdown.

  • Intercept ASU!

    The Sun Devils get the ball right back after Rocco Becht throws rebounds off a helmet into the hands of ASU’s Keith Abney II.

  • Landing in Arizona State!

    The Sun Devils extended their lead after the turnover with a workmanlike 11-play, 43-yard drive capped by a pass from Sam Leavitt to Xavier Guillory.

  • Fumble recovered by ASU!

    We’re back in the second half and the Sun Devils still have full momentum after a mistake from Abu Sama in the first few minutes.

  • Halftime: ASU 24, ISU 10

    The Sun Devils were in control at halftime after a great first half from Cam Skattebo.

  • Landing in Arizona State!

    The Sun Devils are in the end zone just before halftime when Cam Skattebo caps off the fast drive with a short TD run. That’s 140 yards and 2 touchdowns for him in the first half.

    ASU 24, ISU 10

  • Cam Skattebo breaks another long run!

    The ASU star made a straight-line run and fended off multiple tackles for a 53-yard gain and put the Sun Devils in the red zone.

  • The Cyclones couldn’t do anything with their possession, so ASU will have the ball back in its own territory with just under two minutes left.

  • ASU bats it away

    The Sun Devils couldn’t do much after the long pass and hit it back to the Cyclones. This is the first punt of the game with 2:39 left in the first half.

  • ASU hits a long pass

    Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt just threw it up in the air, and somehow Malik McClain managed to score a 43-yard gain and the Sun Devils are already over midfield.

  • Iowa State misses FG

    The Cyclones had to settle for a 46-yard field goal attempt, but Kyle Konrardy missed the target, so they got nothing out of it. That was the first drive of the game that didn’t result in points.
