I already posted about the
B1G Divisional races, here I'll discuss the other P5 races.
ACC-Atlantic:
Clemson (6-0) and BC (5-1) Play this weekend in Chestnut Hill. If Clemson wins, they clinch. If BC wins they take control but Clemson would get back in it if BC loses one of their last two (@FSU, vsCuse).
ACC-Coastal:
Pitt (4-1) is in control and they play VaTech (3-2) this weekend. If Pitt wins this weekend they almost clinch. If VaTech wins then this could come down to the final weekend because there will be a gaggle of teams with two and three losses all still at least mathematically alive. UNC (1-5) is eliminated but the weird thing is that their one and only win came against division-leading Pitt.
B12:
OU and WVU (both 5-1) are in control but they play each other on the Friday after Thanksgiving so at least one of them will have at least two losses before the season ends. It could matter which one because WVU would win a tie with Texas but lose a tie with ISU while OU would win a tie with ISU but lose a tie with TX. Texas and Iowa State are both 4-2 and play in two weeks.
P12-N:
We are still on pace for the Apple Cup between WSU (5-1) and UW (5-2) to decide this one but Stanford and Oregon (both 3-3) are at least mathematically alive. Cal and OrSU are mathematically eliminated.
P12-S:
Last week I called this the messiest division in the P5 because none of the teams were better than 4-2. Well the 4-2 team lost so now there is a three-way tie between Utah, USC, and Zona at 4-3 with ASU just a half game back at 3-3. Even the two 2-4 teams (Colorado and UCLA) are still in the race. This one is VERY likely to end up in a tie so I went ahead and looked up the
PAC's tiebreaker. For a two-team tie it is H2H. For a multiple team tie it is:
- H2H.
- Divisional Record.
- Record against the next best team(s) in the division, then the next, etc.
- Record in all common conference games.
- Highest ranking in "SportSource Analytics poll entering the final weekend of the regular season."
As far as I can tell, no team currently controls their own destiny. This one is messy.
SEC:
The SECCG will be between UGA and Bama.
