- Luck of the Irish: On Saturday, Notre Dame knocked off USC 22-13, and in the process, secured a spot in the BCS Championship Game in Miami on January 7th. How did this team of overachievers go from being unranked in the preseason to #1 in the country? Who will they be facing in the title game, Alabama or Georgia? We break it all down.

- NFL Week in Review: Week 12 saw RG3 put on a big time show in Dallas, Jim Schwartz and the Lions give away free points in Detroit, and Aaron Rodgers and the Pack fall flat in New York. We discuss these games and more in our Week 12 recap.

- Passing of a Boxing Great: Last week, Hector Camacho was shot in his hometown of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, and he succumbed to the injuries 4 days later. How should "Macho" be remembered, and what is his legacy in the world of boxing? Hear our take.

Plus:

Should Ndamukong Suh have been suspended for his actions on Thanksgiving Day? Who should be the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers -- Alex Smith or Colin Kaepernick? Records aside, who is the best team in the NFL right now? We tackle all these questions.

All this and much more in this week's edition of The Bleacher Briefings podcast!
