PAC-12
Washington (5-4) - Utah (W), at Colorado (W), at Washington State (W), projected record 8-4 (the Huskies can breathe easier after upsetting Oregon State)
Arizona (5-4) - Colorado (W), at Utah (L), Arizona State (L), projected record 6-6 (like the Huskies, Arizona's upset of USC should send them bowling, especially with Colorado remaining)
Utah (4-5) - at Washington (L), Arizona (W), at Colorado (W), projected record 6-6 (Arizona on the road looks like a different team)
PAC-12 Reset:

Big 10
Minnesota (5-4) - at Illinois (W), at Nebraska (L), Michigan State (L), projected record 6-6 (not a great road team, the Gophers will have to win at Illinois or get to 20 and beat Michigan State at home)
Indiana (4-5) - Wisconsin (L), at Penn State (L), at Purdue (W), projected record 5-7 (the Hoosiers are one of few over-achieving Big 10 teams. Win at home vs Wisconsin and they might be playing in the Big 10 championship game)
Iowa (4-5) - Purdue (W), at Michigan (L), Nebraska (L), projected record 5-7 (this team doesn't seem good enough to win 2 more games)
Purdue (3-6) - at Iowa (L), at Illinois (W), Indiana (L) - projected record 4-8 (the Boilermakers have let the season get away from them)
Big 10 Reset:

12. Illinois Fighting Illini, 2-7
(currently not filling Heart of Dallas or Little Caesars bowl slot)
SEC
Tennessee (4-5) - Missouri (W), at Vanderbilt (W), Kentucky (W), projected record 7-5 (With Kentucky at home, it really comes down to splitting the Missouri/Vandy games.)
Vanderbilt (5-4) - at Ole Miss (L), Tennessee (L), at Wake Forest (W) - projected record 6-6 (the schedule is there for at least one more win)
Ole Miss (5-4) - Vanderbilt (W), at LSU (L), Mississippi State (L), projected record 6-6 (would be nice to take care of things vs Vandy and not have to beat the rival Bulldogs)
Missouri (4-5) - at Tennessee (L), Syracuse (W), at Texas A&M (L), projected record 5-7 (have to figure out a way to beat Tennessee or A&M on the road)
Arkansas (4-5) - at South Carolina (L), at Mississippi State (L), LSU (L), projected record 4-8 (will likely be a fitting end to a disappointing season for the Razorbacks)

(currently not filling Independence Bowl slot)
Big 12
Oklahoma State (5-3) - West Virginia (W), Texas Tech (W), at Oklahoma (L), at Baylor (W), projected record 8-4 (The Cowboys might be contenders for the Big 12 title)
West Virginia (5-3) - at Oklahoma State (L), Oklahoma (L), at Iowa State (W), Kansas (W), projected record 7-5 (you never know what happens when a team starts heading in this direction)
Iowa State (5-4) - at Texas (L), at Kansas (W), West Virginia (L), projected record 6-6 (with Kansas on the remaining schedule, a bowl bid is almost locked in)
Baylor (4-4) - at Oklahoma (L), Kansas State (L), Texas Tech (L), Oklahoma State (L) - projected record 4-8 (if they can figure out how to play better, the offense is capable of leading them)
Big 12 Reset:
1. Kansas State Wildcats, 9-0 (Fiesta Bowl)
2. Oklahoma Sooners, 6-2 (Alamo Bowl)
3. Texas Longhorns, 7-2 (Cotton Bowl)

ACC
Virginia Tech (4-5) - Florida State (L), at Boston College (W), Virginia (W), projected record 6-6 (may need to win a rivalry game to be bowl-eligible)
Maryland (4-5) - at Clemson (L), Florida State (L), at North Carolina (L), projected record 4-8 (a team on their 5th quarterback doesn't beat these teams)
Georgia Tech (4-5) - at North Carolina (L), Duke (W), at Georgia (L), projected record 5-7 (huge game this week at North Carolina, a win not out of the realm)
Wake Forest (5-4) - at NC State (L), at Notre Dame (L), Vanderbilt (L), projected record 5-7 (BC was one, where is the other?)
ACC Reset

Big East
Pittsburgh (4-5) - at Connecticut (W), Rutgers (L), at South Florida (W), projected record 6-6 (I am giving Pitt the benefit of the doubt, but they have no margin for error)
Temple (3-5) - Cincinnati (L), at Army (W), Syracuse (W), projected record 5-6 (regretting not scheduling an FCS team for a 12th game)
Syracuse (4-5) - Louisville (L), at Missouri (L), at Temple (L) projected record 4-8 (improved, but just not a good road team)
