Week 3 is the kind of lineup that could throw the College Football Playoff contenders into the air just to see where they land.Several one-loss teams, namely Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Ole Miss, are facing must-win situations. But there are also games that could start a chain reaction of chaos. Heres a look at how each conference could be impacted by the biggest games of the week:PAC-12Potential chaos: USC beats StanfordThats all it would take to start a tailspin of confusion in the Pac-12 pecking order. USC was manhandled and embarrassed in its season opener against defending national champ Alabama, but everything is still on the table as far as the Pac-12 title goes. The Trojans could get right back into the CFP conversation, and the committee wouldnt leave out a one-loss Pac-12 champ with a lone loss to Alabama in the opener. (Granted, USC wont win the Pac-12 if it plays against Stanford the way it did against Bama). Stanfords season has typically been a reflection of the outcome of its game against USC. A win last year was parlayed into a Pac-12 title. A loss in 2014 sank Stanford into a five-loss season. After finishing No. 6 last year, David Shaws crew knows how tough it is to crack the top four as a two-loss team. With back-to-back road trips to UCLA and Washington looming, plus a trip to Notre Dame on Oct. 15, Stanford needs to win its home games.ACCPotential chaos: A three-way tie in the Atlantic DivisionThe scenario: Louisville beats FSU, Clemson beats Louisville, and FSU beats Clemson. (Scratching your head? The selection committee will be, too.) If Louisville is for real -- and who really knows after routs against Charlotte and Syracuse -- the ACCs Atlantic Division race could be a jumbled mess of one-loss teams, with Clemson, Louisville and FSU all playing each other. It starts Saturday, when No. 2 Florida State travels to Louisville, a game that features the two new Football Power Index favorites to win the ACC. Should the Cards win, FSU will need to hope Clemson fares better and beats Louisville, but the Noles then couldnt afford to lose at home to Clemson. Head-to-head results are one of the criteria the selection committee considers when evaluating comparable teams, but this chaos might also be the leagues best hope at having two teams in the CFP.SECPotential chaos: Alabama loses at Ole Miss and Auburn beats Texas A&MIf that happens, the SEC West will enter Week 4 with six of its seven teams already having a loss (assuming Arkansas starts 3-0 after a win against Texas State). Oh, its possible. Ole Miss has beaten Alabama in each of the past two seasons, and while that hasnt kept the Tide out of the playoff, a loss to Ole Miss this year would definitely put the pressure on throughout the rest of the season, especially if Auburn finds a way to enter the conversation. The Tigers lost a close one to Clemson, but that has zero impact on their SEC title chances, and any team with a shot to win the SEC has a chance at the committees top four. Auburn still has a lot to prove but seems to have found its offensive identity with Sean White at quarterback. ESPNs FPI is basically considering this one a toss-up, projecting Auburn with a 54.5 percent chance to beat A&M.BIG TENPotential chaos: Michigan State and Ohio State both lose nonconference games this weekMichigan State had a bye week to prepare for its road trip to Notre Dame, but ESPNs FPI gives the Spartans only a 22.1 percent chance to win in South Bend. No. 3 Ohio State is playing its first ranked opponent of the season after two lopsided wins against Bowling Green and Tulsa. Saturday should provide more answers about both Big Ten teams, but if they lose, one of them is guaranteed to finish the season with two losses, because they play each other Nov. 19 in East Lansing. That will most certainly provide Michigan some breathing room, assuming, of course, the Wolverines are undefeated heading into that Oct. 29 game at Michigan State. No. 9 Wisconsin might have something to say about that, though, on Oct. 1 in Ann Arbor.BIG 12Potential chaos: Oklahoma loses to Ohio StateOklahoma State has lost. TCU has lost. OU has lost. If the Sooners lose again this weekend, all eyes turn to Texas as the Big 12s best hope for a playoff contender, if it isnt already. After starting the season with a loss to Houston, Oklahoma has no margin for error Saturday against Ohio State. According to FPI, there is an 80 percent chance the Big 12 champ has two or more losses, up from 36 percent in the preseason. Thats a problem only because the Big 12s title game isnt in place until 2017, so a two-loss champ wouldnt have that extra game against a ranked opponent to help compensate for the second loss.OTHERSPotential chaos: Notre Dame and Houston both win outIf either loses, that team is likely out of the College Football Playoff, but what if both win out? It would present the selection committee with the option of leaving out three Power 5 conferences from its top four in favor of American champ Houston and the independent Irish. Want to combine two chaos scenarios? How about Louisville wins the ACC but loses to Houston? Tim Tebow Jersey . The team says the Spain international has a muscle pull in his right leg.
