Week 13 Football: What to Watch (Conference Championships)

It’s Championship Week! And while the Wolfpack won’t be participating this week, this might be the most competitive weekend of games all season until bowl season comes around. I mean, it’s not like we saw a competitive game last week with UNC in town.

The games kick off Friday with the Conference USA and Pac-12 title games. I’ve been singing Jerry Kill’s praises all year, but his work this year deserves another mention. New Mexico State has posted just their second double-digit win campaign in program history, with the other being back in 1960. Even crazier is that the program hadn’t even managed an 8-win season since 1965, and yet here they are at 10-3 with a chance for their first conference title since 1978.
