Before the College Football Playoff, there are conference championship games to be played. Will Georgia go back-to-back in the SEC? Can Oregon march its way back into the Big Ten title game for the first time since 2024? In this week’s edition of “The Joel Klatt Show,” FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt made his October projections for conference championships. Here are Klatt’s projected conference championship matchups and winners for the Power Four. Big Ten Championship Game Klatt’s thoughts: “Here’s how I see it right now. With the injuries that Indiana is having – and now kind of a resurgent Oregon team with all that talent – we hope QB Dante Moore comes back, but they’re plenty serviceable with their backup [Dylan] Raiola. I think Oregon makes the Big Ten Championship. Obviously, they have some tough games ahead, in particular that game in Columbus. But I like Oregon to make it to Indianapolis. I like Ohio State. Their schedule is not going to be easy. But they’ve got wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, and they’ve got QB Julian Sayin.” Winner: Ohio State SEC Championship Game Klatt’s thoughts: “Georgia and Alabama. I think Georgia is the best team in the SEC. I know Texas is technically the No. 1 team in the country. But if you look at their schedule and the way that they’ve played outside of those 18 minutes against Ohio State, I think that they’re going to be susceptible to getting beat. Because of that, I think Alabama actually passes them, wins the tiebreaker and goes to the SEC Championship game.” Winner: Georgia Big 12 Championship Game Klatt’s thoughts: “This one is going to be an interesting one. Here are two games I want you to pay attention to. I think the participants in the Big 12 championship game are going to be the winners of these games. The winner of BYU vs. Utah game in Salt Lake, and the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State game in Stillwater. I think it’s tough to win on the road. I’m taking both home teams, and I think it’s Utah vs. Oklahoma State Big 12 championship game in Dallas.” Winner: Utah Klatt’s thoughts: “In the ACC, we know Miami is going to be there, I think we all understand that. With Louisville’s loss a week ago, I got a little more gun-shy. But when you actually look at their schedule and the fact that I don’t see any other team running the table, I certainly believe that Louisville is going to get themselves back into a position to play Miami for the ACC Championship game.” Winner: MiamiLatest Sports News from FOX Sports

Just one year after swearing off more work on her face, Farrah Abraham had major jaw surgery.
She had “custom jaws” designed for her face and then implanted.
As a result, Farrah’s mouth has been wired shut.
Before anyone celebrates, they should know that her reasons for the surgery, she says, are a very serious matter.
Farrah Abraham cannot speak and is on an all-liquid diet
TMZ reports that Farrah Abraham underwent double-disc jaw surgery last week.
In the process, the “custom jaws” that had been engineered to fit her face were implanted.
As you can see from photos, the swelling is substantial and makes Farrah all but unrecognizable.
Farrah has stitches on both sides of her face and even across her neck.
For the next two months, she will have to be on a liquid diet and unable to speak — because her jaw has been wired shut.
Farrah Abraham used her Instagram Story to make sure that everyone got a look at her swollen, post-surgical face.

Despite no longer being a reality star and her still-technically-happening run for Austin City Council (please do not let that happen, people of Austin), Farrah still has a manager, Chrissy Johnston.
“Farrah cannot speak because her jaw is wired shut, and her face is extremely swollen,” Johnston explained to The Daily Mail.
“She’s in a severe amount of pain and is really struggling,” she detailed. “Both physically and mentally.”
According to Johnston, the surgery also resulted in Farrah having “lost hearing in her right ear.”
Their hope, she added, is that her hearing “returns to normal over time.”
Appearing on her daughter’s account, Farrah Abraham used a white board to explain why she cannot speak.

She feels ‘like Frankenstein’ with her stitches and wiring
This week, Farrah Abraham didn’t let having her jaw wired shut stop her from appearing on social media.
In addition to sharing numerous articles about her swollen face, she also appeared on her daughter’s page.
During 17-year-old Sophia’s TikTok Live, Farrah held up a whiteboard while showing a visibly swollen face.
The text explained that she had “had surgery” and, as a result, “can’t talk.”
On Instagram, Farrah explained that she felt “like Frankenstein right now.” We can only assume that she is referring to Frankenstein’s monster.
Naturally, many Teen Mom fans might jump for joy at the news that Farrah, however briefly, cannot physically speak.
However, she says that the surgery is to repair an injury that she suffered in 2021.
Farrah alleges that Dominic Foppoli, the former Windsor, California mayor, sexually assaulted her five years ago.
That harrowing allegation takes the winds out of the sails of any celebrators. No matter how terrible of a person Farrah is, no one deserves that.
She is suing Foppoli for an 8-figure sum in civil court. He denies wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime in this matter.

On Wednesday night, Christa Pike was set to be the first woman to be executed by the state of Tennessee in more than 200 years.
Instead, the 50-year-old, who was convicted of murder at the age of 18, was hospitalized after surviving two lethal injections.
The horrific situation has resulted in confusion as to how authorities will proceed.
Sadly, this turn of events is not entirely unexpected.
In recent interviews, Pike warned that there’s reason to believe her execution might be badly botched.
“Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution,” her lawyers said in a statement issued to the media (via Yahoo! News).
“We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.”
Governor Bill Lee also issued a statement, in which he revealed that the state’s remaining scheduled executions will be postponed and will not be carried out in 2026.
“Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the state’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective,” Lee told the press.
According to witnesses, Pike remained awake following the initial dose of phenobarbital, which was supposed to be fatal.
At one point, she reportedly raised her hand and expressed concern to prison officials.
Witnesses reported that the second dose of pentobarbital had been administered by 8:26 pm.
Pike was heard snoring behind the closed curtain until the microphone was cut off at 8:53 pm, and the media figures were escorted from the area.
State execution guidelines stipulate that a secondary set of drug syringes should be administered “if the inmate is not deceased” after the first set.
The guidelines do not specify what happens if the subject is still alive after the second set, thus it is unclear what will happen in Pike’s case.
“I’m going to leave this world the way I spent most of my life, and that is in love,” Pike said Wednesday in what were supposed to be her last words.
As of this writing, Pike is reportedly still in the hospital, and specifics about her condition are unknown at this time.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
