Jackson State coach Deion Sanders is the center of attention as his unbeaten Tigers host Southern in the Southwest Athletic Conference championship game, with a berth in the Celebration Bowl at stake. "Coach Prime" has acknowledged an offer from Colorado for its head coaching vacancy and could announce a decision this weekend. He has been mentioned as a possible candidate for several other Power 5 openings. East champion Jackson State looks to follow up its first unbeaten regular season in school history with a season sweep of Southern and second consecutive SWAC title. The Tigers won this season's first meeting 35-0 in October. Southern won its eighth West Division title and seeks its first conference crown since 2013.
