"I think they should break that three-way tie based on a graduation rate," Leach said.

A NCAA report last month had Texas Tech with the best graduation rate in the Big 12.

Southern California kept its national title hopes alive by humiliating Notre Dame 38-3. USC also saw its hopes for an outright Pac-10 championship and a Rose Bowl bid improve when No. 19 Oregon beat Oregon State 65-38.

The Beavers were a victory away from wrapping up their first Rose Bowl bid since 1965. Now they'll have to hope for UCLA to upset USC next week to get to the BCS.

The Atlantic Coast Conference set its championship game Saturday, after a crazy race in both divisions.

Virginia Tech (8-4) and Boston College (9-3), in a rematch of last season's ACC championship game, will play for a spot in the Orange Bowl next Saturday in Tampa, Fla.

Cincinnati (10-2) had its BCS spot wrapped up before it took the field against Syracuse because West Virginia lost to Pittsburgh on Friday. The Big East champions continued the celebration with a 30-10 victory in Greg Robinson's last game as Orange coach.
