In descending order of importance:
1) Iowa over Minnesota
2) Mississippi State over Alabama
3) Oregon over Stanford
4) Wake Forest over Notre Dame***
5) Iowa State over Oklahoma State***
6) Syracuse over Clemson***
7) Arkansas over LSU
8) Arizona over Utah
9) South Carolina over Florida
10) Ohio State over Illinois
11) Northwestern over Purdue
12) Pittsburgh over Duke
*** - NFW it can happen, but a guy can dream
Northwestern and Pitt are strictly for SOS purposes. I'm torn on Oklahoma/Baylor. OU, Baylor, and Oklahoma State all play each other over the next 3 weekends. As long as they all go 1-1 against each other it doesn't matter to me who beats who. I guess I lean toward Baylor because even if they beat OU and OSU, they still have to play TCU. Oklahoma needs at least one more loss because at 11-1 there would be a strong push from the media to put them in the playoff.
