As expected the relegation dam burst at the top of the Pyramid this week. The tops of those divisions now have more clarity as well. Alabama hosts relegated Nebraska this week and are likely to clinch a berth in the Grand Final. Ohio State has their bye finally, while Clemson plays at Miami (FL). Those two meet the final week of the season @ Clemson.
The Championship level is the most fascinating. Outside of the double relegation discussed last week, everything is still to play for with multiple teams still eligible for promotion or relegation, and one upset can swing things wildly. Illinois for example upset Mississippi at home, and combined with an expected win at home to Georgia Tech the final week of the season they should probably stay up.
The Conference level was essentially finished last week, and this week was just a bunch of dead rubbers save for Cincinnati expectedly achieving promotion. I do like how Central Conference A sorted itself out, with teams winning 8-0 games in perfect sequential order.
