There’s one more week until the four spots in the College Football Playoff are set in stone, and there’s no better way to decide who belongs with Championship weekend.
With the Oklahoma Sooners and the Big 12 remaining idle, four of the Power 5 conferences have their championship games this Saturday for the final slate of games before the college bowl season and the second-ever College Football Playoff.
With secondary market information provided by ticket aggregator TiqIQ.com, below is the ticket prices for each of the four games from most to least expensive.
Big Ten Championship Game | 12/5/2015 | Michigan State Spartans vs. Iowa Hawkeyes | Lucas Oil Stadium | Average Price: $428.60 | Get-in Price: $265

Tickets to the Big Ten Championship Game are the most expensive on the secondary market with an average ticket price of $428.60 and a get-in price of $265. The average ticket price has rocketed up in December, as on November 30th the average ticket price was $293.64.
As Big Ten Championship Game tickets rose, tickets to the SEC Championship Game have been sliding. The fall in the last few days has been over $100, as on November 30th the average ticket price was $487.42 and was recently in the top spot.
The No. 1 Clemson Tigers play perhaps the hottest of all eight teams at Bank Of America Stadium with an average ticket price of $315.05 and a get-in price of $137. The North Carolina Tar Heels are looking to crash the party and are averaging 50 points per game in the last four contests.
In last by a large margin is the Pac-12 Championship Game, as it is highly unlikely that Stanford can even find a way into the CFP with a win. Levi’s Stadium should be a pro-Cardinal crowd as the campus is less than 20 miles away. USC fans can use Hipmunk.com to book a Santa Clara hotel to cheer on the Trojans in their upset bid after the estimated 350-mile trip.
