...and if you missed it on Thursday, Western Kentucky won a double-OT thriller against FIU to claim the Conference USA title!

It's championship weekend in SimCFB!

Tennessee pulls away in the 4th quarter to win the SEC Championship over Florida, 34-21! The Volunteers finish 14-0 and look like a lock to retain their #1 seed into the CFB playoffs.

Chaos for the CFB playoff picture today as California upsets Florida State and both top seeds in the Big 12 fall (Baylor to Houston, Utah to Texas Tech). That's 3 of the committee's top 8 going down.

Meanwhile, Tulane and Tulsa both win to set up an undefeated showdown for the American next week.

A few more 5th year options picked up just before the deadline:

- Tampa Bay OT Damien Knebel
- Carolina DT Caleb Suarez
- Carolina FS Zack Trawick

Final count: 16 options exercised, 16 declined.

Tight ends Ramik Phelps (Green Bay) and Don Scott (now with Baltimore) both getting their 5th year options picked up. No surprises here, as they are already top-10 by Overall at their position. Phelps will make slightly more next year thanks to his Pro Bowl appearance in 2025.

BIG upsets in the CFB sim this weekend!
