The final week of the college football regular season is finally here, and for many teams, it’s their last chance to secure a spot in their respective conference championship games. This year, there are tight races, and many scenarios and complicated tiebreakers are coming into play. To make sense of what to watch and root for, we’ve plotted out all the possible outcomes based on Austin Mock’s projection model.

As college football continues to evolve, we are seeing more and more complex tiebreakers determining who gets a shot at the title game berths. While divisions often receive criticism for being unbalanced, they do provide a clearer path for tiebreakers due to the full round-robin format within the divisions.

For teams in the American conference, such as Tulane, SMU, and UTSA, the final week’s games are crucial. And with several permutations and complicated tiebreakers, it’s anyone’s game. Meanwhile, Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Iowa State, Texas Tech, and West Virginia in the Big 12 are facing a similarly high-stakes scenario.

The ACC, Big Ten, Conference USA, MAC, and Mountain West conferences also have their fair share of drama with title games on the line. With everything hanging in the balance, this last week of the regular season is sure to be filled with intense matchups and potential upsets.
