It’s a big weekend of college football with eight conference championship games starting with an 11 a.m. kickoff of Baylor and Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State’s looking for an opportunity to work their way into the College Football Playoff if they can pull off a win over the Bears in the Big 12 championship game.
