Week 12 College Football Conference Championship Analysis
Posted by deaconcat08 on November 22, 2009
Several conference/division titles were clinched on Saturday, but there are still some major championships to be won. Here is this week’s update regarding the FBS conference championship races. Bold teams have already clinched their division. Italicized divisions are the probable champions at this point in time.
ACC Atlantic- Clemson
ACC Coastal- Georgia Tech
Big 12 North- Nebraska
Big 12 South- Texas
SEC East- Florida
SEC West- Alabama
Big East- Cincinnati (will play Pitt in de facto Big East title game on December 5th)
Big Ten- Ohio State
Pac-10- Oregon (will play Oregon State in the biggest Civil War of all-time on Thursday December 3rd. Because this is by far the most important game in this history of one of the most hostile rivalries in the country, I’m declaring this matchup the biggest game of the year, aside from the SEC Championship Game 2 days later.)
Mountain West- TCU
WAC- Boise State (plays a red-hot Nevada team in de facto WAC title game on Friday.)
C-USA East- East Carolina (plays Southern Miss in de facto division title game on Saturday.)
C-USA West- Houston (SMU pretty much blew its chance at winning the division crown on Saturday, and now the Mustangs just need to think about beating Tulane next weekend to guarantee themselves their first bowl bid since the death penalty. They can still technically win the division, but they’ll need to not only beat the Green Wave next Saturday but also have Rice upset Houston on the same day. Stranger things have happened I guess.)
MAC East- Temple (plays Ohio in a de facto division title game next Friday at 11AM on the U.)
MAC West- Central Michigan
Sun Belt- Troy
