Conference championship games aren't on tap until the first week of December. But thanks to a series of key interdivisional matchups this weekend, we could be seeing a few league title-game previews.

Alabama and Tennessee, fighting to win their sides of the SEC, tussle in Knoxville in a game that could determine if one or both makes the conference final in Atlanta. The same scenario exists in Madison, where Ohio State visits Wisconsin in a rematch of the 2014 Big Ten Championship that might play out again in two months in Indianapolis.

And a potential Mid-American final preview is set for Akron, where the co-East Division-leading Zips host unbeaten Western Michigan in the Broncos' first-ever contest as a ranked team.
