Here's the digest for Week 3*:
1986 at Kansas City
2655 at North Carolina
If 1986 is a regional champion at Kansas City or 2655 at North Carolina, the Captain of the Finalist Alliance will qualify for the FIRST Championship.
*Note that 27 and 245 have qualified for the Championship, but can't open up wild card spots in the traditional manner at the districts they're attending. 27 attends St. Joseph in Week 3.

However both teams are within their ability to turn down an MSC spot, or should they win there or rank high enough to move on, their spot would go to the next team in line.
(Big Secret: Wild Card Rules benefit later regionals, but REALLY benefit MARC and MSC)
