It's 2022 college football conference championship weekend, featuring 10 title games across the Power Five and Group of Five conferences. There is a lot on the line, including College Football Playoff implications. But it's also a national stage for the best 2023 NFL draft prospects to stand out and make a statement against top competition.
We asked three of our NFL draft analysts -- Todd McShay, Matt Miller and Jordan Reid -- to take a closer look at the 10 matchups with an eye to the games' best pro prospects in the 2023 class. For each game, we picked out a key player to watch. That means a prospect who could have a big impact on the game and potentially raise his draft stock heading into bowl season. And for each Power Five matchup, we also answered a big draft-centric question. Let's dig in.
