2012 PAC championship game is only example in a conference championship game. Stanford ended the season with a win over UCLA. They turned around and played again the next week. Stanford was favored by 8.5 and won by 3.
A bunch of knuckleheads, like the coach. Had 2H team over 17.5, so FAU players intercept a pass 35 yards downfield on 4th-and-27 with 4 minutes left instead of letting it fall. Then the QB breaks through the line for what should be a TD, but he hot-dogs it and drops the ball at the one-yard line.
