2018 NFL Draft Prospects Who Must Step Up in Conference Title Games

Conference championship weekend is finally here and nine out of the 10 FBS conferences will decide a champion on the field. Only the Sun Belt Conference doesn’t hold a championship game and will end up with co-champs if Appalachian State beats Louisiana-Lafayette.
