It's Week 14. That means it's time for conference championship games to be played. The regular season is over, and now teams will try and earn bragging rights, and their respective conference championships. Of course, some of the games mean more to teams than just the conference game. For LSU, they hope to be in the National Championship win OR lose. Teams like Oklahoma, Oregon, etc. are all hoping that there's a bit of BCS chaos and somehow their teams end up in the championship game. Let's check out where teams stand in this week's BlogPoll Ballot.
