It's a big weekend for college football. The top teams in the country will battle it out for a conference championship title. Nick Dimengo, Senior Editor at FHM Magazine joins Cheddar to give his opinion on who will end up with the trophy on January 8th.
He predicts the Oklahoma Sooners will win it all, but he says to keep a close eye on the Miami vs. Clemson game. Clemson is the defending champion, but this game is Miami's last chance for a ticket to the playoffs so it will be intense. Now Wisconsin's division has had a tough year, but the team itself is undeafeted. Dimengo talks about what a win this weekend could mean for the team.
Plus, Giants fans will see a new QB on the field this weekend. Geno Smith will start over legacy quarterback Eli Manning. Manning was benched in a surprising move by the Giants' organization, which has left many players and fans upset. Dimengo talks about Manning's future as a Giant and in the NFL.
