Ole Miss would just not go away. LSU may have been expected to walk away with an easy win against Ole Miss, who has the worst record in the SEC West at 4-7. This game just helped to prove how good the SEC is, because if you put Ole Miss in any other conference they would probably win over half their games and be bowl eligible, but not in the SEC. Ole Miss fought to preserve their chance of a bowl game, but LSU was fighting for a chance at the BCS Championship game, and in the end LSU came out on top. It did however take a rally late in the 4th quarter to come away with a win. LSU scored the game winning TD with :44 seconds left on the clock, not enough time for Ole Miss to answer back. LSU won 43-36 and with a slim margin in total yards 470-420. You have to give alot of credit to LSU QB Jordan Jefferson, who had a career day recording a career high 254 yards and a TD through the air while also picking up 45 yards and a TD on the ground.

Ohio State was traveling on the road to visit a tough #20 ranked Iowa Hawkeye team. Ohio State knew not to underestimate this team because in last year's game featuring this teams it took a game winning field goal by Ohio State K Devin Barclay for the Buckeyes to pick up a win. This year year also proved to be a very tough challenge. It took a TD from Dan "Boom" Herron with 1:47 left in the 4th quarter for the Buckeyes to beat the Hawkeyes 20-17. The key play was when on fourth and 10 with 4:02 left in the 4th quarter where QB Terelle Pryor took off picking up a 14 yard run and a Buckeye first down. The Buckeyes beat the Hawkeyes in total yards 353-276 but the Pryor had two interceptions while the Hawkeyes had no turnovers. The Buckeyes also looked very undiscplined at times dropping 73 yards on 8 penalties. In the end though Iowa just had no answer for Pryor.

Nebraska had their fingers crossed Saturday night heading into enemey territory. Nebraska had to know they would have their hands full with Texas A&M, especially with freshman phenom QB Taylor Martinez dealing with an injury. The game proved to be close but Nebraska suffered a defeat at the hands of the "underdog" Texas A&M team. Nebraska did shoot itself in the foot with a school record 16 penalties for 145 yards! Nebraska also had two turnovers where as A&M had none. The biggest reason for the Nebraska loss however was that Taylor Martinez's ineffectiveness. Martinez was battling an ankle injury which he reinjusred, he therefore did not play the whole game and was held to 107 yards through the air and 17 yards on the ground. As a result Texas A&M outgained Nebraska in total yards 310-306, and with the penalties and turnovers Nebraska had nothing going for them. A&M however didn't dominate and only won 9-6.
