NCAA College Football 2012: Championship Weekend Australian TV Guide

Championship Weekend is here once again, and despite the absence of the Pac-12 and Big Ten Championship games (both are FOX broadcasts, and MIA here in Australia, like so many FOX games all year) there's a good spread of the other championship contests this week: MAC, C-USA, ACC and the de-facto Big East title game between Rutgers and Louisville on Friday morning. 

The really big get for ESPN is the SEC Championship on Sunday morning. The winner goes to the BCS National Championship Game in Miami in early January to face the #1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The loser...well, it isn't the Sugar Bowl, which clearly upsets Nick Saban. To add to the excitement in a game where it's tough to predict a winner, ESPN's College GameDay will be on-site at the Georgia Dome. ABC's top team of Brent, Herbie and Heather Cox are in Charlotte for the ACC Championship Game between the overrated Florida State and the unranked 6-6 (5-3 ACC) Georgia Tech team.

Also, BCS Countdown and the Bowl Selection Show on Monday!
