After a weekend of conference championships, the college football postseason is set as the BCS and other various polls have set their field.

The bowl season kicks off on December 17th with three bowl games (New Orleans, Famous Idaho Potato, New Mexico Bowls) and concludes on January 9th for the BCS Championship Game between LSU and Alabama.

Speaking of the BCS Championship Game, this will be the second meeting between the Tigers and Crimson Tide and marks the first time that two teams from the same conference (SEC) will meet for the National Championship.
