Notre Dame survived Stanford and is in line to get $14.5M! They had to really pull off great drives at the end of the game in order to push Stanford away. It would have been catastrophic for them had they lost!

In other games, LSU/Arkansas proved how overrated the SEC is. The final score was 19-17 whereas USC was able to pile on 70 points on Arkansas. Pac-10 deserves to get some more credit than those East Coast folks from the SEC regions give them.

The same goes with Georgia/Georgia Tech. Georgia, even with their stud QB Shockley back, were only able to put 14 points in the game. Pathetic.

It was good news that VA Tech won - they are too good to miss out on a BCS bowl. Just because of one bad day at the office against Miami should not prevent them from going to perhaps Orange Bowl. Of course, it is not a given yet, because they have to beat Florida State in the ACC Championship.

And I was listening to some radio shows in the afternoon where some expert was making a case for Ohio State and his colleague was making a case for Oregon to get the at-large berth in the BCS. Being in the Pac-10, I would of course root for Oregon, but since the toss up may be between Ohio State and Oregon, I would even more so root for Oregon because Ohio State is another overrated mess of a program. I just hope it is up to Fiesta and they choose Penn State which means choosing Ohio State would not make sense to them and they would have to go for Oregon.
