RESULTS - Round of 512

(110) 1995 Northwestern - 25
(622) 1978 Missouri - 19
1978 Missouri's run in this tournament came to an end against the best Northwestern team in the field. The loss means players like QB Phil Bradley, TE Kellen Winslow, and RBs James Wilder & Earl Grant are going home.



(659) 1991 Oklahoma - 19
(147) 2002 Oklahoma - 28
Bob Stoops' 2002 Sooners topped Gary Gibbs' 1991 Sooners in this third round matchup. The loaded '02 defense, paced up front by DT Tommie Harris and LBs Teddy Lehman and Lance Mitchell, held the line against RB Mike Gaddis and the '91 offense.

(238) 1992 Michigan - 28
(275) 1991 California - 25
Michigan's top notch defense held up against a potent Cal offense and got the win to advance. Cal tailback Russell White had 87 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns, but Michigan cornerback Ty Law picked off two Mike Pawlawski passes.



(531) 1979 Clemson - 10
(19) 2006 Florida - 21
Danny Ford had his defense in top form, highlighted by All American lineman Jim Stuckey, but the offense couldn't capitalize. Urban Meyer's first national title team at Florida rode their defense to victory while shuttling quarterbacks Chris Leak and Tim Tebow in and out trying to find their rhythm offensively. The '79 Tigers will always have this win over Notre Dame to remember, though.



Bracket Semifinals:
(110) 1995 Northwestern vs (147) 2002 Oklahoma
(19) 2006 Florida vs (238) 1992 Michigan
