Two conference championship games are slated to begin at 8:00pm ET Friday evening. The Tulane Green Wave travel to West Point, N.Y., to face the 24th-ranked Army Black Knights in the American Championship Game at Michie Stadium (ABC). In the Mountain West Championship Game, the 20th-ranked UNLV Rebels travel to face the 10th-ranked Boise State Broncos at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho, and the game will be televised by FOX.
