21-15 Outside Big Ten

Penn St @ Illinois: Pick: Penn St
Indiana @ Ohio St: Pick: Ohio St

Northwestern @ Purdue: Pick: Northwestern
Rutgers @ Michigan St: Pick: Michigan St
Maryland @ Michigan: Pick: Michigan
Wisconsin @ Iowa: Pick: Wisconsin

Outside the Big Ten
Ole Miss @ Arkansas: Pick: Ole Miss
USC @ UCLA: Pick: USC
Arizona @ Utah: Pick: Arizona

Big Ten Standings: Both division races are for the most part over even with two weeks left, as Wisconsin Vs Ohio St is pretty much set in stone. Even if Wisconsin loses to Iowa, a victory against Minnesota should be enough to clinch the division for them, and Ohio St will officially clinch with a win against Indiana this week. Wisconsin can officially clinch as well, with a win and a Minnesota loss.

East
1. Ohio St: 6-0
2. Michigan St: 5-1
3. Maryland: 3-3
4. Michigan: 3-3
5. Penn St: 2-4
6. Rutgers: 2-4
7. Indiana: 0-6

West
1. Wisconsin: 5-1
2. Nebraska: 4-2
3. Minnesota: 4-2
4. Iowa: 4-2
5. Northwestern: 2-4
6. Illinois: 1-5
7. Purdue: 1-5

How about the other conferences?
ACC: Florida St has officially clinched their division, the other was made interesting with Dukes upset loss to Virginie Tech. If Duke wins their final two games against North Carolina and Wake Forest, it will be them to challenge Florida St. If they lose either, it will be Georgia Tech.

SEC: In the east its fairly straightforward between Mizzou and Georgia. If Missouri wins their final two games at Tennessee and Vs Arkansas they will win the East, if they lose either, Georgia will win the east. In the west, if Alabama beats Auburn, they will win the west. If they lose to Auburn, Miss St will win the west, if they win their final two games. A three way tie between Ole Miss, Misst st and Bama is possible but not worth getting into because the way Auburn is playing Bama will most likely beat them.

Big 12: The Big 12 is still hazy because they have 3 weeks left in their race instead of 2 like every other conference. Their is currently a 3 way tie between TCU, Baylor and Kansas St. Baylor and Kansas St play each other in the final game. If TCU loses at all that game will be for the conference championship. If TCU wins out and Baylor beats Kansas St, Baylor wins the Big 12. if TCU wins out and Kansas St beats Baylor, TCU wins the Big 12. Kansas St can not win the Big 12 if TCU wins out.

Pac-12: Oregon has officially clinched their division, the other division is wild as their is currently a 4 way tie between USC, UCLA, Arizona and Arizona St. The four way tie is almost assuredly going to finish as a two way tie as USC and UCLA play each other as does Arizona and Arizona St. In that two way tie scenario head to head will will out. here are the 4 scenarios

USC beats UCLA and Arizona beats Arizona St: USC wins division
USC beats UCLA and Arizona St beats Arizona: Arizona St wins division
UCLA beats USC and Arizona beats Arizona St: UCLA wins division (as long as they go on to beat Stanford as well, if they lose to Stanford, Arizona wins division outright in this scenario)
UCLA Beats USC and Arizona St beats Arizona: UCLA wins division again as long as they beat stanford. If they lose Arizona St wins division outright.

Three weeks left, buckle up.
