Week 13 wrap up

That's another regular season mostly in the books, and all of the championship games are set.

And UVA still sucks.

We are not counting 5-7 as a bowl possibility, so some of these "no bowl" teams will show up in the lesser bowls.

ACC Championship:  Clemson (7-1, Atlantic) vs. Virginia Tech (6-2, Coastal)

Clemson has the head to head with Louisville who also went 7-1.  VT has the best conference record in the Coastal.

Bowl eligible:  Clemson, Louisville, UNC, VT, Wake Forest, Florida State, Pitt, GT, Miami, NC State, Boston College
No bowl:  UVA, Syracuse, Duke

Atlantic vs. Coastal:  Atlantic 8-6.
Atlantic wins: Wake Forest over Duke and UVA, Louisville over Duke and UVA, Clemson over GT, FSU over Miami, Syracuse over VT, NC State over UNC.
Coastal wins: Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech over BC, UNC over FSU, Pitt over Clemson and Syracuse, Miami over NC State.

Atlantic clinches winning record against the Coastal.


SEC Championship:  Florida (6-2, East) vs. Alabama (7-0, West)

Both teams won their divisions outright by having the best record.

Bowl eligible:  Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas, LSU, Vanderbilt
No bowl:  Missouri, Mississippi State, Ole Miss


B1G Championship:  Penn State (8-1, East) vs. Wisconsin (7-2, West)

Penn State won the head-to-head over Ohio State, while Wisconsin has the best conference record in the division.

Bowl eligible:  Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Penn State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, Indiana, Northwestern
No bowl:  Rutgers, Michigan State, Purdue, Illinois

Pac-12 Championship:  Washington (8-1, North) vs. Colorado (8-1, South)

Both teams clinched with the best record in their division.

Bowl eligible:  Washington, Washington State, Stanford, USC, Utah, Colorado
No bowl:  Oregon, Oregon State, Arizona, UCLA, California, Arizona State


Big 12
Waiting for Bedlam on December 3:  Oklahoma State (7-1) at Oklahoma (8-0).  Winner will be conference champion.  Winner is guaranteed a minimum of 8 conference wins, more than any other team is able to obtain.  Oklahoma would be champs by virtue of best record in conference, while Oklahoma State would have the head-to-head against them.

It's a good thing it's not next year, when the new Big 12 Championship Game returns.  Otherwise, these teams would be playing each other two weeks in a row to determine the champion.  And that's what the Big 12 gets for not making divisions.

Bowl eligible:  Baylor, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, TCU
No bowl:  Iowa State, Kansas, Texas Tech, Texas

Independents
Bowl eligible:  BYU, Army
No bowl:  Massachusetts, Notre Dame
