I think some of you are going off too many unproven theories as opposed to actually taking the books at their words.
But aren't you doing just that yourself when we have proof of at least one trial by combat in the books that didn't involve the direct accuser fighting the accused with Tyrion at the Vale?
ETA: Now I think it's feasible that Ceresi and Co. are assuming the Faith will pick Kettleblack as their champion, but they are by no means bound to that.

We have two other trials by combat to reference.
Tyrion was tried by the Crown with the murder of Joff. The Crown's champion was the Mountain.
Rickard was tried by the Crown. He chose trial by combat and Areys, the Batshit Crazy, chose fire to be the Crown's champion.

Tyrion was also denied in his choice for his champion in that trial as well. He chose Jaime, remember? That trial was run by an insane woman who didn't care what he wanted.
Cersei's trial will be much more publicized and will be done according to law. It has to be for it to stick.
As for the other trial by combat in the series that we know about, Tyrion's, there wasn't a central accusing figure. He actually went through a traditional trial until it was his turn to present evidence and he requested a trial by combat after talking to Oberyn, who did it to exact revenge against Gregor.
