With one more week of league play remaining in the Pacific Mountain conferences, Stanford, UC Berkeley and UCLA already know they're heading to Palo Alto, Calif., for the national round of 16. This Saturday's results will determine the PM South's #2 seed, which will advance to the PM play-ins for the sixth PM seed to nationals, and it'll come down to UC Santa Barbara or UC San Diego.

UC Santa Barbara has the easier of the two opponents this weekend, taking on Arizona State, while UC San Diego must try to topple the undefeated UCLA for a chance at post-season. Even if UCSD does pull off the win, they'll have to bank a bonus point and beat the point differential.

In the South, North Carolina, Central Florida and surprise conference winner, Georgia Tech, all booked their tickets to the South championships. UNC and UCF were favored to win their respective conferences, but Tech's two big wins over Clemson (20-0 forfeit) and Georgia Southern (42-5) this weekend propelled them to the top of standings. The typically strongest teams - Clemson, Georgia and Tennessee - traded ties with one another or were sacked by forfeits, and the bonus points played all the difference this year.

Bids to the South play-ins are one league game away. In the Cardinal Conference, North Carolina State must play its final match against South Carolina, a game that weighs heavily in NCST's favor, before skipping ahead of East Carolina for second. Florida and Florida State must play out their final match against each other as well, although UF is a bonus-point win and 60 points ahead of FSU, so the Seminoles would need to pull off a massive win to finish second. Both of these games occur on March 16-17.

Georgia's 2-0-2 record was enough to finish second in the South's Wren Conference. They'll face the University of Texas in the first round of South play-ins. Texas locked up the top seed out of its region, even after its 32-29 loss to Texas A&M a week prior.
