Conference Reach Around

Some critical conference games have been played a number of teams are already on the outside looking in. Here is a roundup of the BCS conferences around the country.

ACC

The ACC is pretty much the laughingstock of college football this season. While Clemson and Florida State have gone bust this season the ACC does have a few teams that could sneak up on you. Wake Forest is in control of the ACC Atlantic and a pretty solid team. If they can start scoring points on offense instead of defense they will be in good shape. The ACC Coastal is a little more up in the air. Virgina Tech is in control there with an early season win over Georgia Tech and North Carolina, who are still right on their heels. Look for VT to hold on in the Coastal.

Eventual Champ: Wake Forest

Big 12

Th Big 12 may have just surpassed the SEC this year. A feat I would not have thought possible. Three out of the four leading Heisman Candidates are Big 12 QBs. The winner of this conference will most likely be suiting up for a national championship. As of right now Kansas leads in the north with Mizzou right behind them. Kansas has OU, Texas, Texas Tech and Missouri on the schedule. If Missouri can take down Texas this weekend they will be on their way to the North title. The south is a whole-nother story. Right now Texas and Oklahoma State are leading with Texas-Tech and Oklahoma right behind them. Texas is in the drivers seat but has Oklahoma State, Texas-Tech, Kansas and Missouri ahead. Oklahoma State has Texas, Texas-Tech, and OU. Texas-Tech plays Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma State, OU in about a month span. I mean I'm writing this blog and I'm not even following what the hell is going on.

Eventual Champ: Oklahoma.

Big 10

This one is a little easier to understand. Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State are all 3-0 in the conference. Michigan State plays Ohio State this weekend and then takes on Penn State in the last weekend. Penn State takes on Ohio State in two weeks. Ohio State will beat Michigan State and all eyes will be on Penn State Ohio State game.

Eventual Champ: Penn State

Big East

Does anyone even care? After Pitts opening season loss to Bowling Green they have bounced back with five straight wins. Most notably taking down South Florida last week. West Virginia is tied with Pitt but it won't last. South Florida has beat them the last two seasons and that will continue.

Eventual Champ: Pitt

Pac 10

USC had the conference in the bag. Then they blew it against Oregon State. How did Pete Carrol's team react? They outscored their next two opponents 70-10. Cal is leading the conference but USC has their shot at them in November. USC doesn't make more than one mistake a season. Whether that mistake holds them out of the title game is still to be seen.

Eventual Champ: USC

SEC

The SEC east has a new star. Vanderbilt took down South Carolina and Auburn. Next team in their sights is Georgia this weekend. If they can escape that one they will have their shot at Florida two weeks later for a SEC East title. Florida plays Georgia and Vandy in consecutive weeks. They control their own destiny. Tim Tebow wants a championship of his own. In the West Nick Saban and Alabama are sitting pretty atop the standings. The big one is looming over the horizon, however, 11/08 at LSU.

Eventual Champ: Alabama
