    I was looking at the conferences to see who is going to win what and how.

    In the Pac12
    North: It's Oregon
    South: It's UCLA if they win out or finished tied with Arizona State/Arizona. If UCLA loses, it opens up the can of ifs and buts. For those teams with a club in the #5 to 9 position, you may want to follow the Bruins since they have looked absolutely dominant since crapping the bed in back to back weeks against Utah/Oregon. Arizona State/Arizona could be for that P12South title IF UCLA loses.

    SEC:

    East: Missouri and Georgia. I'd feel really good if I'm a Bulldog fan because Missouri's last game is against Arkansas who has looked absolutely dominating the past few weeks.

    West: Alabama and Miss State. All Alabama has to do is beat Auburn, which is usually right where Auburn likes to have the Crimson Tide especially in Bryant-Denny. Miss State should beat on Ole Miss. It's tough to tell with these rivalry games, but Ole Miss just took 10 rounds worth of hooks to the jaw and can't have very good legs with no bye week.

    B1G:

    East, I believe, is Ohio State's even with the loss to Michigan (that ain't coming).
    West: I think that's Wisconsin. I think Minnesota can force a tie with a win over Wisconsin in the Paul Bunyan's Axe game, but that's probably not going to happen.

    ACC:

    That's FSU vs Georgia Tech. Not 1 of us cares, but Georgia Tech could win this game because they can play keep away from Famous Jameis. It won't happen, but it could.

    Big12: There's 3 teams with 1 loss. You guys who follow that conference can tell me who wins what with any tie breakers

    The rest of the conferences no one seems to care about so we'll skip them. Did I miss a scenario?

    Every time I count Mo. out they somehow find a way.

    I do agree that Arkansas should present a huge problem for the Mo. offense but hey.... I thought the Vols would defend them better.

    Yeah I'd like to see Missouri win the East. My dislike for Ark goes back to my days at the Univ of Texas, seeing them lose is always a highlight.

    I think a focused Georgia team would be a better match for Bama in Atlanta.

    I just can't see Mo. hanging with the Tide but if they somehow find a way to defeat a white hot Arkansas team this weekend then all bets are off on the Tigers imho.
