The GIST: It’s the last weekend of the regular season, and the season titles are still up for grabs in three stacked Power Five conferences — each with three Top-10 teams. Here’s who could slide home with the hardware.

Big 12: The regular-season title rests on the aforementioned Bedlam series. Oklahoma State sits two games back from the Sooners and could capture the crown with a road sweep…though that seems like a long shot, since they haven’t won a game on Oklahoma’s diamond in this century.

  • But with even one win over the Sooners, the Cowgirls would create space for No. 1 Texas to snag a share of the crown — as long as the Longhorns can hold it down against Texas Tech this weekend. Living for the drama.

Pac-12: At 14-4 in conference play, No. 6 UCLA holds a tenuous lead in the Pac-12’s final season, and they should clinch their 18th title with two weekend wins over Arizona State. But if the Bruins bumble it, No. 7 Stanford is lurking just behind at 15-6. A strong homestand against No. 21 Oregon, plus a UCLA choke, would push the Cardinal to a huge come-from-behind conference win.

SEC: Like UCLA, No. 3 Tennessee has the country’s fiercest conference locked up…if they can keep their sh!t together against No. 24 Kentucky this weekend. No. 8 Texas A&M and No. 9 Florida sit one and two games back, respectively — but since they play each other in the season finale, it’ll take some serious grit and a lot of luck for either one to catch the Vols.
