Looking ahead to week 14 - Championship Week

With just next weeks big game between Jackson State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff to come, oh and the Army-Navy game, this week is the end of the regular season. A week dominated by conference championship games though there are many other issues to decide. Here are some of the games I'm looking forward to, although this has been one of the easier weeks to pick them:

• Alabama vs Georgia - the biggest game of the week. Effectively we have a 3-team playoff this year with these two facing each other in a semi-final for the right to play the top seed. And there's the small matter of the SEC Championship on the line.
• Texas at Kansas State - Kansas State are unlucky in that they have fallen off many people's radar at the wrong time. They lost then had a week off right at the end of the season. Can they finish the season 12-1 and win the Big 12?
• Kent State vs Northern Illinois - Could Kent State really break into the BCS bowls? A MAC team?
• Louisville at Rutgers - a Big East decider between 2 teams who soon won't be in the Big East.
• UCLA at Stanford - there's a good argument that Stanford are finishing the season as well as anyone. Can they win the Pac-12?
• Nebraska vs Wisconsin - Officially a Big 10 championship game. In reality it will decide the second best team in the Big 10.
• Florida State vs Georgia Tech - The ACC has had a bad couple of weeks but the addition of Louisville is a good step in the right direction. A good championship game would be another. What they really need though are some notable bowl wins.
