This one is going to be a monster, since I have to wrap up all of this weekend's gridiron action, college and pro. We'll start with Saturday.

Ohio 17, Akron 7 - With the win, Frank Solich's Ohio squad wins the MAC East and will take on Central Michigan in the conference Championship game on the 30th. The two schools have not met this season.

West Virginia 45, Pittsburgh 27 - The Mountaineers kept their Big East Championship hopes alive with a big win in the Backyard Brawl, but they need Louisville to lose one more time between now and the end of the season. Pittsburgh lost their slim Big East title hopes with the loss.

Boston College 38, Maryland 16 - 3 defensive scores helped BC rout the Terps, but both schools remain alive in the running for the ACC Atlantic Division title. Neither controls their own destiny, however.

Oklahoma 36, Baylor 10 - The Sooners forced the Longhorns to clinch the division themselves this coming Friday afternoon. If the Longhorns fail to beat the Aggies, the door opens up for Oklahoma.

Arkansas 28, Mississippi State 14 - The Razorbacks have clinched the SEC West, and will meet the Florida Gators in the SEC Championship Game. The two schools have not played this season.

Boise State 49, Utah State 10 - With the win, Boise State has clinched the WAC Championship to become the first (but not the weekend's only) outright conference winner.

Rice 18, East Carolina 17 - By losing to Rice, East Carolina has left the door wide open for Southern Mississippi.

Ohio State 42, Michigan 39 - The Buckeyes clinched both the Big Ten Championship and a spot in the BCS Title game. Michigan is pretty much guaranteed another spot in a BCS Bowl, and the National Championship could still be a rematch of this contest. In case you are wondering, I am completely against this scenario, unless Florida and USC lose between now and then.

Brigham Young 42, New Mexico 17 - The Stormin' Mormons are your 2006 Mountain West Conference Champions, and they are headed to the Las Vegas Bowl.

Virginia Tech 27, Wake Forest 6 - While the Demon Deacons didn't WANT to get blown out by the Hokies on Saturday, they do remain the only team in the ACC Atlantic which controls its own destiny. What this game does do is ensure no three-way tie at the top of the Atlantic divsion standings, so the tie-braking procedure will be relatively simple.

Arkansas State 33, Troy 26 - Troy, like Wake Forest, remains in control of its own destiny in their conference despite the loss to Arkansas State.

Louisville 31, South Florida 8 - With the win, Louisville is still right in the middle of the Big East title picture, and the Rutgers/Cincinnati result below means they are in excellent position. South Florida's slim conference championship dreams were extinguished by this loss.

Cincinnati 30, Rutgers 11 - The Scarlet Knights have to say goodbye to dreams of an undefeated season and a shot at the BCS title, but they still control their own destiny in the Big East. Cincinnati, along with UCONN, lost their Big East Championship hopes when WVU beat Pitt Friday night.

Southern California 23, California 9 - USC clinched their 5th straight Pac 10 Title and earned at least a spot in the Rose Bowl. Their BCS title hopes are still alive, though, and so California still could be headed for Pasadena, after all.

Southern Mississippi 25, Alabama Birmingham 20 - With the win coupled with ECU's loss, the Golden Eagles suddenly find themselves in control of their own destiny in Conference USA's Eastern Division.

Several games I previewed last week were made irrelevant by one (or more) of the results above. The results of tose games are as follows: Miami (OH) defeated Bowling Green in a muddy mess of a game Wednesday night, 9-7; Kent State secured bowl eligibility by beating Eastern Michigan, 14-6; Syracuse got their first Big East Conference win, 20-14 over Connecticut; Auburn beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl for the 5th straight time, 22-15; Utah won a thriller over Air Force, 17-14, on a last-second figgie; Louisiana State squeaked by a surprisingly game Mississippi squad, 23-20 in overtime, to complete the first 8-0 home season in school history; Nevada trounced Louisiana Tech, 42-0; and Hawaii pantsed San Jose State, 54-17.

Ok, onto the NFL Power Rankings...

1. Bears (2) - The Bears return to the top spot with a shut-out win over the Jets.
2. Colts (1) - The Colts are still the AFC's top team - for now - but they are no longer "unbeatable"...
3. Chargers (3) - ...and the Chargers are right there with them.
4. Broncos (4) - It's back to the drawing board for Denver after a crushing divisional loss at home.
5. Cowboys (5) - I told you the Cowboys deserved this ranking!
6. Jaguars (8) - This has to be the wierdest team in the NFL; 2-1 against teams with winning records, and 2-3 against teams with losing records (they are, fittingly, 1-1 against .500 teams).
7. Ravens (9) - Don't look now, but if the playoffs started today, Baltimore would have a first-round bye.
8. Patriots (10) - The Pats seemed to put whatever it was that was going on against the Jets behind them.
9. Panthers (12) - It's (almost) never too late to turn the season around, especially in the NFC.
10. Giants (6) - This team might just be too beaten up, when all is said and done.
11. Bengals (13) - Somebody has re-introduced Chad Johnson to Carson Palmer, which is capital-T Trouble for the teams left on the Bengals' schedule.
12. Eagles (7) - Oh, boy, here we go again.
13. Seahawks (11) - Their loss to San Francisco was probably the upset of the week, when you factor Donovan mcNabb's knee injury to the Philly loss, but the Seahawks didn't have their QB, either, and Shaun Alexander hadn't played in a while; that said, you want to beat the 49ers.
14. Chiefs (14) - A four-point win over any Aaron Brooks-led team is not exactly inspiring, but it beats a loss.
15. Steelers (15) - Survived the Hail Mary, and their slim playoff hopes will carry over another week.
16. Dolphins (19) - The Dolphins are also still in the playoff hunt, believe it or not.
17. Saints (16) - They're still tied for first in the NFC North, but you have the feeling midnight is coming for this Cinderella.
18. Falcons (17) - It's worth noting that the Panthers team the Falcons are chasing went into Baltimore and won soundly earlier this season.
19. Jets (18) - A lot of bad teams have been beaten a lot worse by Chicago this season, but at 5-5 the Jets don't consider themselves a bad team.
20. Rams (20) - Now at 4-6, the Rams would need a miracle run to wind up in the post-season.
21. Vikings (21) - A hot start has fizzled out quickly in the cold Minnesota autumn.
22. Buccaneers (22) - The Bucs don't have much time to savor their rare win - they have a Thanksgiving date at Dallas.
23. Redskins (23) - Considering he was making his first career start without Santana Moss or Clinton Portis, and the offensive line was back to their "ole" style of pass blocking, Jason Campbell looked pretty damn decent despite the loss.
24. 49ers (26) - Whoa, wait a minute - the 49ers are at .500????
25. Bills (25) - If the Bills had won their near-upsets this season, they'd be in the hunt for a playoff spot.
26. Browns (24) - Much like the Bills, the Browns have been plagued by missed opportunities this season, this latest loss being a fine example.
27. Titans (28) - A rookie QB with Vince Young's talent makes for a roller-coaster season, and Sunday was a fine peak for Tennessee.
28. Packers (27) - That was Ugly with a capital U.
29. Texans (29) - It appears as if sweeping the Jags will be the lone highlight of Houston's season.
30. Cardinals (32) - Matt Leinart finally gets his first NFL victory.
31. Raiders (30) - Unbelievably, Aaron Brooks has a job again.
32. Lions (31) - If you're behind Aaron Brooks' team, then you are in bg trouble.
