After a weekend full of turkey and stuffing, all we are getting our hands on this weekend is a Lunchables Pizza and some salt-free Triscuits.

Championship week this year in college football is looking to be milder than the network television version of “The Departed”.

Does the SEC Championship even matter at this point?

Even with a LSU loss in the conference title game to Georgia, the Tigers resume is still as immaculate as Aristotle’s. Beating probable conference champions Oregon and West Virginia by a combined 39 points to go with an overtime victory in Tuscaloosa makes you the overwhelming number one team in this country. LSU is the most dominant number one team we have seen since…well, since the last time an SEC team ranked was number one, which is every year. The SEC has won the last five national championships and has a 15-6 record in BCS bowl games. The conference is as dominant as Vincent Lauria was in nine-ball.

I don’t care what the score will be in Atlanta; LSU will play for the BCS National Championship.

After 12 losses the past two seasons this was looking to be Mark Richt’s last season in Athens before being banished from the SEC. Ten wins, and a conference schedule that dodged #1 LSU, #2 Alabama, and #8 Arkansas, later and the Bulldogs are back in the SEC title game for the first time since 2007. What were the odds of something this astronomical ever happening? This would be like Francis Ouimet beating Harry Vardon in another 18-hole playoff, or Chamindade taking it to Ralph Sampson in a best-of-three. That would be like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady all rupturing their Achilles tendons on the same day, and Jason Garrett winning a Super Bowl because of it. Did R.E.M. write up the Bulldogs schedule?

Georgia could at least have a fighting chance on Saturday. But I guess you could say former Detroit Lions wideout Johnnie Morton also had a fighting chance in K-1 too. Regardless, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray has thrown for 32 touchdowns this season, good enough for 7th in the country. Only ten other players in SEC history can say that. Murray has never faced the Tigers in his career (or even Alabama for that matter), but has a 14-2 TD to INT ratio his past four games.

In the Pac-12 we have a title game that is probably less anticipated than “Baby Geniuses 2”. Rick Neuheisel’s road to perdition continues to Eugene Friday night as a 31-point underdog. Even though UCLA went only 6-6 this season, while losing by 25 or more points in five of those losses, the Bruins won the Pac-12 south division because of Southern Cal’s postseason ban. In the week leading up to his firing Neuheisel kept sticking to the fact that he had “won the right” to compete in the Pac-12 title game, only hours after the 50-0 public execution cross-town rival USC had put on Neuheisel’s guys. Neuheisel’s frantic pleadings for his job sounded more desperate than the personal appeal pop-ups from Jimmy Wales’ on Wikipedia. Neuheisel went 21-28 in four years in Los Angeles while going to only one bowl game.

As Glen Foley would say, "The only bowl UCLA is going to is the one I just got off of".

Oregon comes in probably still dazed over its three-point home loss to USC two weeks ago, which ended any repeat appearance in the BCS title game, but still are looking to blow by the Bruins to play for their first Rose Bowl title since 1917.

The game will be played at the home location of the team with the higher ranking, which is this case is Oregon. No neutral stadium for your conference title game, Pac-12? C’mon that’s worse planning than Woodstock ’99. This isn’t the NCAA Super Regionals Pac-12, get a neutral site.

We all know UCLA is going to lose by a scoring margin you usually only see in cricket matches, but at least give them a shot without home-field advantage.

The ACC championship flies under the radar for another year, but not because of its undeserved lack of exposure, but because it’s about as meaningful as the third-place game in the World Cup.

Virginia Tech comes in having won their usual double-digit amount of boring games. How has Virginia Tech won at least ten games every year since 2004, yet I can’t seem to remember any of them? Their wins are about as meaningless, and unheralded as Mark Gastineau’s boxing career. Did you know that Frank Beamer is only 65-years-old? This guy ages worse than Abe Vigoda. I figured this would be Beamer’s final lap coming up soon, but he’s got as much time left standing on sidelines as Chase Daniel does.

Clemson comes in having lost three of four since being a popular pick for a national title sleeper team at 8-0. At this point, that pick makes about as much sense as the names of Popeye the Sailor's four nephews. Tajh Boyd has thrown seven interceptions in the those four games, after only throwing three the previous eight, including a season-low 83 yards passing against South Carolina. Dabo Swinney pretty much went from T.E. Lawrence on the Clemson campus, to Hans Gruber all in a month's span.

This will be a rematch as Clemson curb stomped the Hokies 23-3 at Lane Stadium on October 1st. Both quarterbacks had days they would like to forget as the two combined for 329 yards and one touchdown on only 28/59 throwing the ball. The game was about as entertaining as "Animal Crossing" for Nintendo DS. Virginia Tech was able to control possession with their all-American candidate running back David Wilson, but failed to strike on any big plays.

The winner is heading to the Orange Bowl where the conference has lost eight of nine since the Bowl Championship Series began. Talk about the Green Mile, Miami looks more like the Bay of Pigs to the ACC. The ACC winning the Orange Bowl is as likely as Najeh Davenport sitting on a toilet. I think Charles Barkley has a better shot at winning the Fed Ex Cup than that conference winning at Sun Life Stadium.

In another rematch, Wisconsin gets a chance to vent its wrath at the Spartans of Michigan State for ending its title dreams on October 22nd. Michigan State won on a last second Hail Mary with zero seconds left on the clock to break the Badgers hearts. I hadn’t seen a bigger choke than that since Greg Norman was in his prime.

After storming out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter, Wisconsin surrendered a safety and a block punt returned for a touchdown to en route to 23 unanswered points in the second quarter. Wisconsin tied the game late after two touchdowns in the span of a little over eight minutes, but Michigan State set the stage for one of the most memorable games of the season. With four seconds left and the game seemingly heading to overtime, Kirt Cousins launched a rain maker 44 yards to Keith Nichol who caught the ball at around the one-foot line before somehow muscling his way forward for the full twelve inches. I hadn't seen a defense that uninterested since the Richard Speck trial.

The call on the field actually had the ball being spotted just inches from the goal line but was reversed by the replay team upstairs who thought Nichol crossed the plane of the goal line. To any viewer at home however, it was about as conclusive as the whereabouts of D.B. Cooper. Wisconsin was gypped worse than a pizza delivery boy at Pete Sampras' house.

It was a heartbreaking way to go out for Wisconsin, who felt more cheated than anyone who was at the Sugar Ray – Roberto Duran fight.
