Once again it will be Alabama versus Florida for the SEC title and  a right to play for the national title.  Most seem to think that this years game will not be such a sure thing for Florida, as Alabama is coming into this game with a much tougher defense and a more sound offense.  One thing is for sure.  Whomever comes out of the SEC title game a winner will be heading to Pasedena with one playoff win already underneath their belt.

Tonight is the first of 5 games over the course of the next couple of days that will determine conference champions all in one week.  Oregon St. at Oregon is sure to be an exciting game, and to the victor go the spoils of playing Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.  The Big East, the SEC, the ACC, and the Big 12 all have title games this coming saturday and tonight’s battle for PAC-10 control in the state of Oregon is a fantastic way to start Championship Week.

After their win against Mississippi St. earlier in the month, the University of Alabama broke the NCAA record for most career 10-0 starts in history.  No other program has started off 10-0 more than the Tide, which is now at 17 times altogether.

After much discussion on whether or not Brian Kelly would leave for the Notre Dame job, Mr. Kelly has repeatedly reported that he is not going anywhere.  That being said, his Bearcats only need 3 unique things in order to be considered for the NC game; 1, they need Oregon State to win tonight. 2, they need to beat Pitt on saturday, and 3, they need Nebraska to pull off the upset of the year.  If those three things happen and Kelly’s Bearcats play for a National Title he might hold true to his word and just continue to build a dynasty in Cincinnati rather than try to rebuild what is already broken in South Bend
