Week 7 wrap up

Yesterday was kind of intense.  Condolences to Michigan on such a soul crushing loss.  Most conference races are just as muddled as they were going into the weekend.

As usual, I'm only referring to conference records in this post.  If the number of games does not match the list of teams, then the extra number is a cross divisional game.

ACC Wheel of Destiny

Atlantic
Controls destiny:
-Florida State (4-0) has tiebreakers over Boston College, Wake Forest, and Louisville.
-Clemson (3-0) has tiebreakers over Louisville and Boston College.
-Syracuse (1-1) has a tiebreaker over Wake Forest.  Their loss was cross divisional.

Needs help:
-Louisville (1-2) needs two Clemson losses, but has a tiebreaker over NC State.
-Wake Forest (1-3) needs FSU to lose out, plus three losses from Syracuse.  They have a tiebreaker over BC.

Just start winning:
-NC State (0-2) lost to Louisville.
-Boston College (0-4) lost to FSU, Wake Forest, and Clemson.

Coastal
Controls destiny:
-Pitt (3-0) has tiebreakers over Virginia Tech, UVA, and Georgia Tech.
-Duke (2-0) has a tiebreaker over Georgia Tech.
-UNC (2-0) has a tiebreaker over Georgia Tech.
-Miami (1-1) has a tiebreaker over Virginia Tech.

Needs help:
-UVA (1-1) needs two Pitt losses.
-Virginia Tech (1-2) needs three Pitt losses and two Miami losses, plus an additional loss from the UNC/Duke winner.

Just start winning:

SEC

East
Controls destiny:
-Florida (4-1) has tiebreakers over Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri.
-Georgia (3-2) has tiebreakers over Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Missouri, but lost to Tennessee.

Needs help:
-Kentucky (2-2) needs two Florida losses.  They have tiebreakers over South Carolina and Missouri.
-Missouri (1-3) needs a Kentucky loss and two Florida losses.  They have a tiebreaker over South Carolina.
-Tennessee (1-2) needs two Florida losses.  They have a tiebreaker over Georgia.

Just start winning:
-Vanderbilt (0-3) lost to Georgia.
-South Carolina (1-4) lost to Georgia and Kentucky.  They will be eliminated with a loss or a Florida win.

The SEC had the most interesting shift of any division.  South Carolina was the one team in all of the power 5 conferences that was closest to elimination.  If one of two things happened, they were done.  Well, neither outcome occurred, so they barely stay alive.  Meanwhile, the Florida loss gave control back to Georgia.  However, both of those teams are on a bye next week, and then play each other.
