2013 college football conference picks: Top-to-bottom standings for each league

College football starts next month. It's time to make our best guesses as to which teams finish where in every conference around the country.

To that end, voters from SB Nation's college football network selected full standings for each 2013 league and division. We also included Football Outsiders' F/+ projections as a ballot, because we like math. (Learn more about F/+ here.)

Full standings below for each conference, as well as our projected conference title game or, based on standings, the biggest games of the year for those leagues without title games. You will disagree with us loudly and frequently in the comments, and that is appreciated now more than ever.
