NCAA Week 10 results and Top 25

The Big Ten suffered upsets of its top teams, which might risk the presence of a Big Ten team in the playoffs.  Now it looks like Wisconsin will need to win the Big Ten title, as a two-loss Big Ten champ or one-loss Wisconsin won't likely beat out a one-loss Oklahoma, one-loss Clemson, or one-loss Notre Dame.

Upset Alert
I mentioned the two Big Ten upsets.  Michigan State's defense held Saquon Barkley and propelled them past Penn State.  Iowa had their best game of the season, forcing four JT Barrett interceptions and blasting the Buckeyes. There were other interesting upsets, though.  Baylor won their first game of the season by knocking off Kansas.  Florida State surprised Syracuse, and Vanderbilt beat Western Kentucky.

Title Races
Atlantic Coast Coastal:  Miami has really established themselves as the front-runner here.  A victory over Virginia in two weeks will clinch it.  I doubt Miami will be unbeaten, though, as Notre Dame should beat them this week, giving Clemson a still-feasible run at the playoffs.
Atlantic Coast Atlantic: This one goes to Clemson with either a win this week against Florida State or a loss to NC State.  NC State needs to win out AND hope for a Florida State upset.  Nobody else has a shot.
American Athletic East: UCF leads and has a couple of easy games against UConn and Temple before facing South Florida.  If the Bulls contiue to win, that game will determine the division.  Nobody else has a chance.
American Athletic West: Memphis leads and holds the tiebreaker over Houston, so Houston needs Memphis to lose both of their remaining games.  Since one is against East Carolina, I don't see that happening.  Memphis wins the division by beating SMU this week.  SMU would need to win AND hope East Carolina beats Memphis.  Again, not likely.
Big XII: If Oklahoma beats TCU this weekend, they have the inside track.  If TCU wins, they have the inside track.  Iowa State holds tiebreakers on both, so if the Cyclones win out AND the Oklahoma/TCU winner loses later, Iowa State can capture the crown.  West Virginia could win with an Oklahoma victory over TCU and the Mountaineers winning out, as they finish the season against Oklahoma.
Big Ten West: Wisconsin has this in the bag.  A Badgers win OR Northwestern loss gives them the division.
Big Ten East: This past weekend's games sent this one into chaos.  Michigan State actually controls here.  They have already beaten both Michigan and Penn State.  If the Spartans can beat Ohio State this weekend, they'd have to lose BOTH of their remaining games (against Maryland and Rutgers) to miss the division title. An Ohio State win makes a messy four-way tie atop the division, but Ohio State would own the tiebreaker over two of them.  Ohio State beating Michigan at the end of the season would then give them the division title.
Conference USA East:  The Florida Atlantic Owls lead, and one more win for them removes everyone except Florida International from contention.  The Owls face them in two weeks, and can eliminate them with a win.  Florida International needs to win out or hope either Louisiana Tech or Charlotte upset the Owls.
Conference USA West: If North Texas beats UTEP this weekend (highly likely, since UTEP hasn't won a conference game), they win the division. Anyone else needs North Texas to lose to both UTEP and Rice, which is not a likely scenario.
MAC West:  Toledo owns this division.  Northern Illinois would need to win out AND have Toledo lose twice.  Central Michigan would need to win out AND have Toledo lose all of their remaining games.  Western Michigan, who plays Toledo to close the season, would need to win out AND have Toledo lose once before their contest.
MAC East: Ohio and Akron are tied, and they face each other in two weeks.  Akron actually has the better schedule, as Ohio faces Toledo this week.  If Ohio loses, they need to beat Akron and Buffalo to win. Akron just needs to beat Ohio.
Mountain West West:  Fresno State needs to win their next two games to clinch the division.  San Diego State needs to win out AND have Fresno State lose twice.  UNLV also needs to win out AND have Fresno State lose twice.
Mountain West Mountain: Boise State wins the division with two more wins.  A win this week over Colorado State leaves Wyoming as the only other team with a shot.  They'd need to win out AND have Boise lose twice.
Pac-12 North: If Washington beats Stanford this week, Stanford is eliminated.  Washington wins if they win out.  Since the season closes with the Battle of Washington, Washington State can win if they win out.
Pac-12 South: USC would have to lose BOTH of their remaining games AND either Arizona or Arizona State win out for them to lose the title.
SEC West: The Tide needs to beat both Mississippi State and Auburn to win.  If AUburn wins out, they win the division. The Bulldogs can win by upsetting Alabama AND winning out AND Auburn beating Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
SEC East:  Georgia won it
Sun Belt: Arkansas State wins by winning out.  Troy wins by winning out, as they play Arkansas State in the last week.  Appalachian State and Georgia State need to win out AND hope both Arkansas State and Troy lose twice.
