Games to watch next week:

(#7) Stanford at (#23) USC (8:00 PM ET, ABC) Both teams are still striving for the Pac-12 title. In this corner is the Stanford Cardinal, now the front-runner in the Pac-12 North after beating the Oregon Ducks last week. With USC and Cal left on Stanford's conference schedule, the Trojans are Oregon's best hope at spoiling Stanford's season. In the other corner are the USC Trojans, sitting behind Arizona State and UCLA in the Pac-12 South. A win over Stanford would help keep their dream alive, but what USC really needs is Arizona State to lose.
Line: Stanford by 9

(#12) Georgia Tech at (#11) Clemson (Thursday 7:30 PM ET, ESPN) Hard to believe after three straight losses in late September to early October, but Georgia Tech has hung in there and is now sitting atop ACC's Coastal Division. A win and losses by Virginia Tech and Miami (FL) would send the Yellow Jackets to the ACC Championship Game. Clemson will not be going to Tampa regardless, but wins here and against South Carolina at the end of the season would likely be enough for an at-large BCS bid.
Line: Georgia Tech by 11.5

(#21) Washington at (#18) UCLA (Friday 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2) UCLA still controls its own destiny in the Pac-12 South. Unfortunately, the Bruins face an uphill climb with Washington, Arizona State, and USC left on their schedule. If they lose to the Huskies, UCLA could still make it to the Pac-12 title game, but it becomes much less likely for them to do so.
Line: Washington by 2

(#28) Georgia at (#8) Auburn (3:30 PM ET, CBS) Both of these teams are behind, but could still make it to the SEC Championship. Georgia's chances are slim, as the Bulldogs need to win out and need Missouri to lose out. Auburn, on the other hand, still controls its own destiny. The Tigers could still make it if they lose to Georgia, but only as long as both they and Mississippi State beat Alabama.
Line: Auburn by 15.5
