noob question: I just watched the Real Madrid game, and they said that since all 3 teams tied, Sevilla is eliminated. Coming into this week, Barcelona and Madrid were tied, and Sevilla was 2 points behind. How is Sevilla eliminated? If Sevilla wins next week, and Madrid and Barcelona both lose, wouldn't Sevilla have more points? or is the announcer just an idiot?

The announcers were wrong. They were originally saying that Sevilla was eliminated because Barca was winning. But I guess they didn't change what they were saying when Espanyol tied it up.
