| 6 | Virginia Tech Hokies - Frank Beamer's squad impressed folks on Thursday, taking care of business against Georgia Tech 37-26. Up Next: North Carolina | 3 |
| 7 | Alabama Crimson Tide - The Tide seemed just as beat as LSU, but then were able to turn on the afterburners to silence Mississippi State 24-7. Up Next: Georgia South | 1 |

| 18 | Wisconsin Badgers - Wisconsin demolished an upbeat Minnesota team 42-13 after a slow start. The Badgers only have to win out to get to the B1G CCG. Up Next: Illinois | 4 |
| 19 | Penn St. Nittany Lions - While Penn State is going through a rough time without their head coach, there is still 1 last opportunity to make it into the B1G CCG. That chance comes from winning out. Up Next: Ohio State | -7 |
