I really thought I had posted a wrap up for week 13. Anyway, all of the conference title games are set, and the conferences without title games are setting up for big showdowns next week.
ACC
Atlantic winner - Florida State
Coastal winner - Duke
The Wheel of Destiny has stopped spinning. Now, let's wrap our heads around the thought that Duke will be in a primetime game on ABC next weekend.
SEC
West winner - Auburn
East winner - Missouri
The Tigers will win the SEC. And major kudos to Auburn for the thrilling way they beat Alabama.
B1G
Leaders winner - Ohio State
Legends winner - Michigan State
Pac-12
North winner - Stanford
South winner - Arizona State
Big 12
This conference likes to upset itself the week before Thanksgiving. I need to remember that next year. In fact, last week, they almost set up scenarios of ACC proportions.
Last week, there were 16 possible outcomes based on four games that controlled the conference. Oklahoma State won 12 of those; Baylor and Texas each got two. Now there's only three outcomes. Either Oklahoma State wins against Oklahoma, or they lose and the Baylor/Texas winner takes the conference.
All three teams in contention are 7-1 in conference.
Oklahoma (6-2) is out. Last week, it looked like they had the record to force a 3 or 4 way tie, but they didn't own enough tiebreakers. Now, they're out based solely on record. We already know that the Baylor/Texas winner will end up at 8-1, which means anyone with more than one conference loss is eliminated.

Still don't care that much, I think UCF is most likely to win. They either need to win their final game, or have Louisville beat Cincinnati. Not sure what would happen if those games go the other way.
Just for fun, let's see what the average ranking of each conference championship is.
SEC: 4
(3) Auburn vs. (5) Missouri
B1G: 6
(2) Ohio State vs. (10) Michigan State
Pac-12: 9
(7) Stanford vs. (11) Arizona State
ACC: 10.5
(1) Florida State vs. (20) Duke
At least all of them have two ranked teams.
