As a refresher, the Death to the BCS Playoffs are built in the form of a seeded 16-team bracket, where the ten conference champions automatically given berths, and the rest of the field is filled out with at-large berths. At present, 17 teams remain undefeated, so we're just a hair over the threshold. However, the Power conferences all have at least one unbeaten foe, and Marshall out of Conference USA is also undefeated, which means four bids automatically have to go to teams that have already lost games. That means four teams get screwed. I want to minimize the chances of that happening. So hopefully, next week's edition can see the first version of a potential bracket.
For the purposes of most of this post however, I'm going by conference to see how they are doing in relation to each other in terms of wins and Playoff Points. At the end I'll try to look through who the best teams are, plus you can look over the information yourself as well. For reference, here's last week's rankings. Let's see how the weekend changed the conference landscape. All numbers are rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Tomorrow I'll look at the schedule for Week 6 of the season. And hopefully next Monday, I'll be able to build a bracket for the first time.
