Championships are won in November. (Well, nowadays, I suppose they're won in December.) Heading into the final month of college football's regular season, here is how things are shaping up in each of the major conferences. Each conference still has at least two teams that control their own destinies. Several other teams are also still in the conference race but need some additional help. Next to each of these teams that need help, I have listed one of perhaps several ways that it can still win a title in December should that team win its remaining conference games.

Note that this list is in no way exhaustive of all of the possible outcomes. There are still millions of possible combinations of events that can transpire in the season's final five weeks. This is just a fun exercise to get us thinking about some of the possibilities. Enjoy!
