1. Conference Title Pictures (from simplest to most convoluted)
Edited on Fri Nov-25-11 02:04 PM by fishwax

ACC
Clemson has won the Atlantic Division.

The winner of Saturday’s game between Virginia and Virginia Tech wins the Coastal Division.

Big 10
Michigan State has won the Legends Division.

The winner of the Wisconsin-Penn State game wins the Leaders Division

Big 12
If Iowa State beats Oklahoma Saturday, Oklahoma State wins the conference title.

If Oklahoma wins Saturday, next week’s Bedlam Game between OU and OSU is for the conference title.

SEC
Georgia has won the East Division.

LSU wins the West Division if they beat Arkansas on Friday.
Arkansas wins the West if they beat LSU on Friday and Alabama loses to Auburn on Saturday.
If Arkansas and Alabama both then Arkansas, LSU, and Alabama will be tied for the lead, and the BCS rankings would determine who goes to the championship.

In the case of a three-way tie, the SEC removes the lowest-ranked team from consideration and then uses the head-to-head result to determine the winner. Presumably Arkansas will jump LSU if they win, so it will depend on who is ranked higher between LSU and Alabama. If Arkansas and Alabama are the top two, then Alabama goes; if Arkansas and LSU are the top two, then Arkansas goes.

Pac 12
If Oregon beats Oregon State, they win the North Division. If they lose to OSU, then Stanford wins the North Division.

USC has won the South Division, but is ineligible for the Conference Championship Game, so either UCLA, Utah, or Arizona State will play in the championship game.

UCLA goes with either a win against USC on Saturday or a Utah loss to Colorado on Friday.

Utah goes if they win, UCLA loses, and Arizona State loses to California on Friday.

Arizona State goes if they win, Utah wins, and UCLA loses.

Big East
There are two teams at 4-2 (Rutgers and Louisville), three teams at 3-2 (Cincinnati, West Virginia, and Pitt), and one team at 2-3 (Connecticut). I believe all six still have a shot to win. Theoretically, there could be a five- or six-way tie.

Rutgers plays their final game Saturday against Connecticut. If they win, they are league champions if Louisville loses their final game and if West Virginia loses one of their two remaining games. If they lose, they might still have some slim shot at the title, I don’t know.

Louisville plays their final game against South Florida Friday. If they win and Cincinnati and Pitt both lose at least one more game, then Louisville wins the Big East title.

Cincinnati has games against Syracuse and Connecticut. They lost to Rutgers and West Virginia, so if the Bearcats win and both those teams lose, then Cincinnati wins the Big East.

WVU has games against Pitt and South Florida. If they win both of those games, then they win the Big East title if Louisville loses today to South Florida.

Pitt has games against WVU and Syracuse. They already lost to Rutgers and Cincinnati, so if both those two teams get one more loss and Pitt wins their remaining games, then Pitt will be champions.

Connecticut has games against Rutgers and Cincinnati. If they win both games and the other three teams all lose one more game, there could be a six-way tie. I don’t know if there are any scenarios that UConn could actually win the tie-breaker, though.
