After Week 9, the only conference with three teams undefeated in conference play is the Sun Belt which has divisions. It is no longer possible for an undefeated team to miss a conference playoff.

At the start of the season, I looked at which trios of teams didn’t play each other for the ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, and SEC. I then tracked which combinations of undefeated trios were still possible. There was only one last week, but with SMU losing, there are now none.

See y’all next year! Any thoughts for how better to present this? Is it worth showing all the possibilities at the start of the year or should I just start once teams actually play conference games?

Edit: Should have given a proper shoutout to the three undefeated Sun Belt teams! Congrats to the James Madison Dukes, Southern Miss Golden Eagles, and Troy Trojans!

Edit 2: Should have said conference championship game instead of playoff
