It all comes down to this. The playoff field, revealed Sunday, will be determined by what happens over the next two days. There aren't many games on conference championship week, but the quality more than makes up for the quantity.

From the Big Ten championship to the Pac-12, so much has to be decided within a short amount of time. As many as seven teams could still make the final four. Which games should you be watching? Here are the five games featuring top-25 teams with major implications on a conference and national scale.

No. 1 Alabama (-24.5) vs. No. 15 Florida: The SEC Championship Game lacks sizzle because it lacks meaning on the national scale (it's also a repeat of last year's game). This is a departure from previous years when, on some occasions, it felt like a de facto semi or quarter final. If Florida somehow does the improbable and upsets Alabama, it's not getting into the playoff and the Crimson Tide surely will anyway. The Gators enter this game all kinds of banged up and Alabama has been double-digit favorites practically all season. Can Florida make it a game? That's about the only question here.

Alabama -24.5

No. 10 Oklahoma State (+11.5) at No. 9 Oklahoma: Bedlam doesn't have heavy playoff implications, if any, but it projects to be a fun game in its own little slot (next to the AAC Championship, that is) early on Saturday. The Sooners are looking to cap off an undefeated conference run, which would be the first since the Big 12 moved to its round-robin schedule; Texas (2009) was the last team to make it through the Big 12 unscathed. Oklahoma State can win its second Big 12 title under coach Mike Gundy. With two potent offenses, this one has shootout written all over it.

No. 8 Colorado (+7.5) vs. No. 4 Washington: The battle for the playoff kicks off Friday night in the Pac-12. Washington looks likely to be in with a win and Colorado is shooting for a Rose Bowl berth at best. The Buffaloes have orchestrated a hell of a turnaround under coach Mike MacIntyre and a conference championship is one of the last remaining goals left unchecked. Don't expect fireworks, though. Both teams have excellent defenses and the over/under is down to 55.5, making it subdued by Pac-12 standards.

No. 3 Clemson (-10.5) vs. No. 23 Virginia Tech: Similar to Washington, Clemson is surely in the final four with a win. Despite a double-digit line, however, that might not come so easy if the Hokies catch fire on offense. There are enough weapons on Tech's side to make this a shootout. It's been a bit of an enigmatic season for Clemson -- a team that has had some close calls in trap games and lost to Pitt. Still, there's little to complain about when you're a top-four team capable of making a playoff run for a second straight year. This is a ridiculously talented group that would pose a threat to Alabama if they met. But first: win the ACC.

No. 7 Penn State (+2.5) vs. No. 6 Wisconsin: The Big Ten championship kicks off at the same time as the ACC's, but here's betting more eyes will be on Indianapolis as there's potential for more uncertainty here than anywhere else. Ohio State, which is sitting at home, looks to be a lock, but what about Penn State if it wins? The Nittany Lions have the head-to-head win over the Buckeyes. Yet, Wisconsin is the higher-ranked team. What happens if it wins? Results elsewhere will likely dictate if the Big Ten gets one, two or even three teams in, but this game matters as well.
