NCAA Football 2018 Week 12 Top 25 and title races

Title Races
American Athletic:  UCF wins the East, and will face the winner of the Houston v Memphis battle
ACC: Clemson v Pittsburgh
Big XII: The winner of the Oklahoma v West Virginia bout wins the title, as a Mountaineers already beat Texas and a Sooners win gives them the best conference record
Big Ten:  Northwestern faces the winner of the Big Game (Ohio State v Michigan)
Conference USA: UAB plays the East winner, which is Florida International if they win (Middle Tennessee needs a win AND a Panthers loss)
Mountain West:  Fresno State takes on the winner of the Utah State v Boise State matchup
Pac-12: Utah plays the winner of the "Battle of Washington"
Sun Belt East:  The winner of the Troy v Appalachian State battle wins the division
Sun Belt West: If Louisiana wins against UL Monroe, they win.  A Monroe win AND an Arkansas State win sends the Red Wolves.  UL Monroe needs a win AND an Arkansas State loss.
