BCS National Championship: Notre Dame vs. AlabamaNotre Dame has sealed up their spot in the BCS National Championship, after their big 22-13 victory over arch-rival USC. Being the only eligible unbeaten team and the fact that they are Notre Dame, there is no chance they won't be heading to Miami. Who would have thought in August a pre-season unranked Notre Dame would be heading to the national championship? No one, well except maybe Lou Holtz.It's pretty obvious that the Alabama-Georgia SEC Championship game is a semi-final to the national title game, the winner of this game will face Notre Dame. Both teams only have one loss, both to SEC foe's. In my opinion, Alabama is the much better team. Georgia had a very easy schedule, not having to play any of the power SEC West schools, Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M. They only have one top 25 victory, over a very good Florida team. Against South Carolina, the only other top 25 team they faced, they were blown out, 35-7....

Can Badgers leave their baggage behind?
MADISON, Wis. When the pulse of a town and ultimately one's job security hinges on the outcome of football games each Saturday in the fall, a college coach will delve to great depths to summon an answer for a loss.
