Your College Football (And Conference Championships) Open Thread

This is the place if you wanna yak about any of the conference championship games or any of the final-week-of-the-regular-season games in leagues wherein the NCAA's byzantine rules prohibit a title game. Something to ponder: the NCAA mandates that leagues only schedule championship games when they have 12 teams or more—meaning, what with realignment, that the Big Ten (12 teams) has a title game and the Big 12 (10 teams) doesn't. Spooky, right?

Of course, your headliner is at 4:00 p.m. on CBS, a preview of what one half of a four-team BCS playoff will look like: #3 Georgia vs. #2 Alabama, in Atlanta, for the SEC championship. (The other half of this year's four-team playoff would have been Notre Dame vs. Florida, so just pretend that happened, and that Notre Dame somehow won.) We'll link back for that, and here's the master schedule if you need it. Enjoy.
