With three of the four unbeaten teams sitting it out, this weekend is all about the conferences races.
The Big Ten could lose some clutter at the top with No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 8 Ohio State playing on the road, while No. 14 Virginia Tech can lock up its fourth trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.
In the Big 12, No. 9 Nebraska can lock up the North Division and potentially eliminate No. 18 Texas A&M from contention in the South, where No. 16 Oklahoma is trying to stay close to first-place No. 12 Oklahoma State.
Iowa realistically fell out of the Big Ten race when it lost to Northwestern last week, leaving Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin all tied for first with 5-1 records.
The Hawkeyes can clear a path to the Rose Bowl for Michigan State by beating Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State. If the Spartans and Badgers tie for the league championship, Michigan State goes to Pasadena because it beat Wisconsin.
In a three-way tie, the BCS standings decide which team plays in the Rose Bowl and Wisconsin currently leads the race, with Ohio State next and then Michigan State.
The Badgers, coming off an 83-20 victory over Indiana, are at Michigan on Saturday, so expect Wisconsin’s offense to keep rolling against the Big Ten’s lowest rated defense. Michigan State is home against Purdue.
Tyrod Taylor and the Hokies can lock up another ACC Coastal crown by winning at No. 24 Miami. The Hurricanes, who have never played in the conference title game since joining the league in 2004, would remain alive in the division race with a victory.
Nebraska needs to win either of its final two games to earn a second straight trip to the Big 12 title game. The Cornhuskers visit College Station, where the Aggies are rolling but need lots of help to catch Oklahoma State.
Justin Blackmon and the Cowboys should have an easy time at Kansas on Saturday, before finishing the season at home against Oklahoma. If the Sooners can win at Baylor, the Bedlam game in Stillwater will be for the Big 12 South.
