Gen CFB with Jessica and Lucy is coming up in just a bit, but we have to get excited for Conference Championship Weekend BEFORE the College Football Playoff. Then, Tony is supremely confident that he has a jingle Dan and Izzy will love. Plus, Jessica Smetana and Lucy Rohden are back with a new episode of Gen CFB. They react to a rivalry week for the ages with Ohio State getting upset by Michigan as a massive favorite, Miami ruining their playoff chances with a loss at Syracuse, and look ahead to conference championship week.

What are the implications of conference championship games?
He kind of fixed it against Tennessee. Carson back is turning the wrong way, and I think Texas is turning the right way. Also, figure out how you want to use Arch Manning. Figure out what your whole dealio there is. But I think that Texas is going to win. I think losing a game like that is sort of a wake-up call.
I think Texas has only gotten better since, and I don't necessarily think Georgia's gotten better since.
Texas also gotten a little bit more banged up since, so I'll put that out there. But I don't know. I could see it going either way. It's going to be a great weekend. I think we both have Oregon. I think SMU could beat Clemson. I think everyone's assuming Clemson's going to win. I wouldn't assume that. Clemson's looking bad. I was not assuming that at all. Every good team they've played.
Clemson winning is funny, but I don't want it. Orange britches game. I think they wear orange pants for championships. So, yeah, good stuff. Dabo making it into the playoff and getting a bye after the season Clemson has had would be, man, everyone would want to cancel the 12-team playoff by next year. Except for Clemson fans, obviously.
Yeah, I think he even said he's like, we could be the first three-loss national championship. Shut your mouth.
Hush. Zip it. Oh, but also the worst. Oh, my God. What a weekend. This is one of the best rivalry weekends of all time. Ever. I'm 100% saying that because Notre Dame won by, like, two touchdowns. I had two pick sixes back-to-back against USC. But I'm also saying it because of Ohio State and Michigan and all the chaos and the flag planting. And, man, this is me clutching my pearls.
Don't do it again, guys. It was so terrible.
Iowa had five first downs of one. That's what I'm saying.
Oh, so good. That's real football. This is real football. And this is Jen CFP. We'll see you next week to recap conference championship weekend. And hey, Lucy, I think the footy awards are coming up soon.
