BCS standings for November 2 have been released, and while Ball State actually went down a spot, I think the rankings are generally fair.

With their toughest opponents still ahead on the schedule, Ball St. can still make a solid run into the top 10 if they win out. Missouri, Oklahoma, Ohio State, BYU, and LSU all have tough games ahead that are possible losses.

More thoughts on Tuesday as I blog throughout election day.

Last night’s Saturday Night Live was star studded, but most importantly, it was funny. For the first time this year, SNL delivered a well rounded show that provided laughs throughout the entire 90 minutes. I suggest you visit NBC.com some point soon to catch what you may have missed.

New film “Max Payne” won the weekend box office race, taking in $18 million. Oliver Stone’s “W.” came in fourth, getting beat by “Payne”, “Secret Life of Bees”, and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.” With a weak opening of only $3 million, teen comedy “Sexdrive” came in ninth on the weekend.

The Chicago Bears finally held onto a win this week, as they ran up the score on the Vikings. Unfortunately, running up the score was barely enough, as the Vikings didn’t do too badly on offense, either. We came out with a win though, and for at least a few hours, the Bears are in first place.
BCS Standings were released today. Number one and two were obvious, but look who came in at No. 20! Ball State is a BCS buster this year, kids.
