Surrey 154 for 4 (Sibley 40, Roy 36) beat Sussex 153 for 6 (Cachopa 45, Nash 39) by six wicketsScorecard Surrey kept their hopes of reaching the last eight of the NatWest T20 Blast alive with a comfortable six-wicket win over Sussex Sharks in front of a 22,601 crowd at The Kia Oval.Having restricted Sussex to 153 for 6 on a slow pitch, Surrey paced their response perfectly and won the game with ten balls to spare when Chris Morris swung Mustafizur Rahman over midwicket for six.It was Surreys sixth win in the ultra-competitive South Group and they join Sussex on 12 points, but the Sharks only have one game left - at home to second-placed Glamorgan next Wednesday - and their chances of making the quarter-finals appear remote.Surrey had been given a strong start by England opener Jason Roy, who made 36 off 25 balls, hitting six fours and a six.Roy looked in the mood but was becalmed by slow left-armer Danny Briggs who came on in the powerplay and bowled Roy in his second over as the batsman slogged across the line. A clearly frustrated Roy angrily swished his bat at the stumps as he departed, an act which may earn him a rebuke from umpires David Millns and Alex Wharf.Roys opening partner Aaron Finch had gone in the third over, caught at backward point off a huge top-edge to give Jofra Archer, the Barbados-born fast bowler playing only his third game in the competition, the first of two wickets.But Dominic Sibley and Rory Burns were determined not to squander Surreys good start. The third-wicket pair added 42 in 27 balls and although Burns (13) was superbly caught at long leg by the diving Rahman, Sibley made a composed 40 off 31 deliveries with three sixes and a four to put his side in control.He was athletically caught by Sussex captain Luke Wright at extra cover in the 15th over, but Surrey required just 38 runs at that stage and Morris (20) and Ben Foakes (22) eased them to their sixth win of the group stage.Sussex, who had been put in, were 15-20 runs short in the end. With four overs to go they were 135 for 3 but Jade Dernbach and Tom Curran bowled superbly at the death, taking three wickets as Sussex cobbled together just 18 more runs.Craig Cachopa and Matt Machan had put on 51 in 31 balls for the fourth wicket but they fell off successive Dernbach deliveries in the 19th over. Machan (18) top-edged a pull and Cachopa was held at long on for 45 (34 balls, 7 fours) while Chris Jordan gave Curran a deserved wicket when he holed out to deep mid-wicket in the final over.Sussex were without fast bowler Tymal Mills because of ankle trouble and their leading scorer in this seasons Blast Ross Taylor, who has joined up with New Zealand for their tour of South Africa.In Taylors absence they needed experienced openers Chris Nash and Wright to perform and although Nash played well for his 39 from 34 balls, Sussex captain Wright was out for just 7.Surreys seamers showed good control with Dernbach taking 2 for 25, Morris 2 for 21 and Tom Curran 1 for 20.

Well find out a lot more about where things stand in the race for the College Football Playoff when the official rankings come out next week. Leading up to the big reveal, our college football experts narrowed the field to the 10 teams with the best shot at the national title.Heres a look at Louisvilles title chances; to vote for who you think will win it all, go to our poll page or scroll to the bottom of this feature:The case for LouisvilleDespite Louisvilles one loss to Clemson, the Cardinals have been dominant in their wins -- tied with Alabama for third in the nation in average in-game win probability.Louisville leads the nation in offensive efficiency, and Lamar Jackson leads the FBS in Total QBR.Jackson has been responsible for 34 TDs this season, more than 108 FBS schools have combined as a team.-- ESPN Stats & InformationThe case against LouisvilleWith a loss to Clemson, ESPNs Football Power Index projects Louisville to have only a 10 percent chance at winning the ACC Atlantic Division. No team that failed to win its division has made it to the playoff.ACC-leading Clemson has a 78.2 percent likelihood to win out (up from 76.5 percent last week).-- ESPN Stats & InfoTalking pointsJacksons 91.6 Total QBR is on pace to be the fourth-best single-season Total QBR in the past decade.?-- ESPN Stats & InfoVegas odds:?Louisville has 7-1 odds to win the national title, better than Clemsons 8-1 odds despite the Tigers head-to-head win, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.What the FPPI says:?The FPI gives Louisville at least an 80 percent chance to win each remaining game, and favors the Cards on a neutral field against every team in the country except Alabama and Michigan.dddddddddddd But their FPI chance to win the Atlantic Division is low -- and even lower when it comes to winning the ACC championship game (9 percent).ESPN senior writer Heather Dinich: The most direct route for Louisville would be for Clemson to lose Saturday to Florida State, then lose in the ACC championship game. Under that scenario, the selection committee would at least debate whether Louisville is more worthy to be included among the top four -- despite the Tigers win in the head-to-head matchup.ESPN senior writer Todd McShay:?The toughest remaining game on Louisvilles schedule is at Houston. And while thats no cupcake, it certainly doesnt look as daunting as it did a few weeks ago, before the Cougars lost to Navy and SMU. Louisville has a tough road to the ACC title game, sitting a game behind Clemson (and having lost their head-to-head game). But if the Cardinals finish 11-1 and their only loss is a six-point defeat on the road to Clemson, theyll have a real case to be included in the playoff, depending on how the other conferences end up.Now that youre stuffed with numbers and analysis, are you convinced the Cardinals are going all the way?
