Oklahoma, Clemson and Auburn stole the show Saturday as they set the pace to make the Final Four in College Football.\u00a0 Wisconsin also controls their way into the group of four if they can win the Big Ten Title game next week.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Auburn beat a visiting Alabama team to gain the Western Division title of the SEC.\u00a0 The 26-14 setback for the Tide was predicted by this blogger.\u00a0 Clemson took South Carolina to the woodshed in a out-and-out beating while Wisconsin and Oklahoma had no trouble winning on this Saturday.\u00a0 Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma served his punishment for cursing and crotch grabbing from past weeks game at Kansas.\u00a0 He performed without flaw and is a prohibitive favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, win or lose for the Sooners next week.<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
Here is the setting for next weeks big title games that effect the Final Four:<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

ACC Championship:\u00a0 Clemson plays Miami, Fla. (winner in Final Four)<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Big Twelve Championship:\u00a0 Oklahoma plays TCU (if OU wins they are in the hunt)<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Southeastern Conference Championship: Auburn plays Georgia (Winner in)<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Big Ten Championship:\u00a0 Wisconsin plays Ohio State (Wisconsin in with a win)<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

PAC Championship:\u00a0 Stanford plays USC\u00a0(no chance for Final Four)<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alabama and Ohio State, followed by Clemson, Georgia and TCU all the best of the rest and\u00a0are likely out and do not control their destiny.<\/span><\/h5>\n
