Some takeaways:
- MSU and Bama by far have the toughest remaining scedules. That's not necessarily a bad thing; they will be rewarded for the wins against ranked opponents and not heavily penalized for the losses (provided they're not blowouts).
- I think Florida State will slip up against one of their remaining three opponents.
- TCU will coast and they have no conference championship game...although that will probably hurt them in the end.
