•Conference chaos? A look at college football's power conference tiebreaker scenarios ahead of Week 13
73% Informative
None of the four remaining power conferences have divisions.
With each conference having at least 16 teams, it's impossible for a team to play every other team in its conference.
The Big 12 has more teams mathematically eligible for the conference title than any other power conference.
SMU is guaranteed a spot in the ACC title game even if it goes 1-1 in its remaining games against Virginia and Cal .
Clemson is only in if SMU or Miami finish the season with two conference losses.
If one of Texas or Texas A&M loses on Saturday and this week ’s loser wins the matchup between the two teams on Nov. 30 , both teams are 6-2 .
In that situation, the SEC would break the tie via the conference records of the six teams’ SEC opponents.
