With BYU having a bye, here are some fun games that could help BYU/B12 the most:
B10:
• #3 @Penn State beating tOSU = give tOSU a second loss and should move them behind BYU (in theory). If nothing else, may eliminate a B10 from the CFP.

• @Michigan State needs to thump #13 Indiana = anytime a non-ranked B10 team beats a ranked B10 team an angel gets its wings. I like the story behind Indiana (non-traditional power doing well), but the B10 needs less top dogs – especially in a season where BYU is rocking.

SEC:
• Florida beating #3 @Georgia = Florida is bad, but has won 4 games. It is possible to give Georgia a second loss. See above. The B12 needs losses to as many good SEC teams as possible. This may put Florida in the top 25, but they can't stay for long — their schedule really is brutal.

• #12 Texas A&M to South Carolina = First off, I don't like A&M since the Detmer game and always root against them (more so now that they are in the SEC). Second, they only have one loss and need to add another. With Texas as their only remaining possible loss, it would be great to get it this week. Oh, and I don't like 'em.

• Kentucky smashes #7 @Tennesse's hopes = A 5-loss Kentucky won @Ole Miss and has a one point loss to Georgia. There is a small chance of an upset.... a very small chance.

ACC:
• #20 @SMU crushing #18 Pitt = A good SMU can't help but make BYU look better. Plus, it would be nice to see them in the ACC conference championship game. It's still funny to me that SMU is in the ACC.

• Duke taking down #5 @Miami = Duke isn't great, but they do have 5 wins. Miami (or any team ranked above BYU) with a loss helps BYU.

• Louisville beating up #11 @Clemson = Louisville was ranked for several weeks, but hasn't been great lately. Why do we want Clemson to go down? See above. This is unlikely, but possible.

B12: If the goal is to get as many B12 teams in the CFP, we need the top 4 teams to keep winning. We need the B12 to be well-represented to dimmish the efforts of the SEC and B10.
