Championship Week has arrived! We now know that the BCS National Championship will feature Notre Dame and the winner of the SEC Championship. This will be the 7th consecutive season in which an SEC team will play for the crystal ball, winning the previous 6. Alabama and Georgia will do battle in Atlanta this weekend for that right. There are still plenty of bowl slots to be filled though, including the other BCS bowls. In the surprise of the week, the Kent State Golden Flashes could play spoiler for a team like Oklahoma and crash the BCS dance. Kent State is currently ranked 17th in the BCS. If they can defeat Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship and climb into the top 16 they will be there. Who would have thought that a team from Ohio could end up in the BCS after all? A lot can still change this weekend. I decided to switch it up and make my projections off of my predictions for this week's games. My predictions won't be posted until Wednesday, but you can take a guess who I have winning most games based on where I have those teams slotted for postseason play. This is where your favorite team will be headed based on my projections, so start making your travel plans. (Rankings are based on current Ringer Poll)
