5:57 pm - Ole Miss 36, LSU 35. The announcer for CBS just argued that, because 4-6 Ole Miss is playing tough against 9-1 Lucky State University, a one-loss SEC team should get to play for the national title. That's a terrible argument. Even though I do agree that the SEC is the best conference, Ole Miss is not a good 4-6 team. Not that I'm biased or anything, but I would take 4-5 Oregon State, 5-6 California, and 4-6 Arizona State over Ole Miss.
But not 4-6 Washington.

That's a lie.
6:12 pm - Final: LSU 43, Ole Miss 36. Final: Stanford 48, Cal 14.
Bad news for Boise State and TCU. Both LSU and Stanford now have only one loss each, and each have only one game remaining; Stanford vs Oregon State, LSU at Arkansas. If they both win out, it means that it will be very tough for both Boise and TCU to get to a BCS Bowl. The Sugar Bowl will most likely use their first pick on LSU. Then their second pick will probably be between the #2 Pac-10 team (Stanford), the #2 Big 12 team, or the #2 non-AQ team. Of those options, the non-AQ would probably bring in the least amount of revenue, especially if it's Boise. That would mean that a 12-0, #4 Boise State could fall all the way to the New Mexico Bowl.
In other, unrelated news, #16 Virginia Tech defeated #24 Miami, 31-17. One more win and they will get to play in the Orange Bowl.
8:17 pm - It's almost dinnertime, so I'm going to stop blogging for a while. Oregon State is up on USC 17-0 in the 2nd quarter. I would love for them to win this game...
