This week lacks the big time games of last week, but there are games that will effect the BCS bids in major conferences. In the ACC, Florida State is going to need an opponent in the championship game. That team could very well be the winner of this weekend's Miami-Duke game. You read that right. Duke controls its own destiny to get to the ACC Championship. In the Big 12, Oklahoma State and Texas will battle to keep their BCS hopes alive. Baylor has clearly been the class of the Big 12, but both of these teams can still play their way into the Fiesta Bowl. And Ohio State will need to play someone in the Big 10 Championship. The winner of the Michigan State-Nebraska game will have a leg up on being that team. Here is how I expect Week 12 to play out. (Rankings based on Ringer Poll)
