Conference USA

Dec. 1 at the home stadium of the top seed, Liberty.

C-USA is in a similar position as the SEC, as both top seeds have been clinched. While looking at the table might show three teams still in play, Jacksonville State is ineligible for the postseason due to the NCAA’s rules on transition from FCS to FBS.

Eligible Teams:

  1. Liberty (7-0) (clinched spot)
  2. New Mexico State (6-1) (clinched spot)

MAC

Dec. 2 at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.

Last night, the week 12 games took place for the MAC (except for last-place-in-the-East Kent State against last-place-in-the-West Ball State) and with only one game to go, Miami (OH) locked up the East division, while undefeated Toledo has been top dog in the West all season.

Eligible Teams in the East:

  1. Miami-OH (6-1) (clinched spot)

Eligible Teams in the West:

  1. Toledo (7-0) (clinched spot)
