There are a few major conferences with titles yet to be earned, but the more interesting races are in the middle of the pack where teams are fighting for at-large spots. The Big Ten has seen teams like Minnesota fall back into the pack after a tough week where they dropped two games and fell to 10-6. Meanwhile, Rutgers fell to 7-9 and need to beat fellow bubble teams Purdue and Michigan to finish off the regular season to keep their hopes alive. The middle of the pack in the Pac-12 features Washington, Oregon, Utah and USC. Of that group, the Utes have the most work to do and must win at Washington on Thursday night. The SEC has a slew of tournament hopefuls sitting at 8-6 and Tennessee is right behind them at 7-7. While 8-6 teams like Kentucky are safe, Georgia, Florida, Auburn and Missouri still have some work to do.
