BRACKET SEMI-FINALS
(seed) year school - score

(65) 1982 Georgia - 30

Another Herschel Walker-led Georgia team goes down. It took three overtimes, but Danny Ford's Tigers claimed supremacy in the south over Vince Dooley's Bulldogs.


(193) 2004 Boise State - 29
(64) 1994 Florida State - 37
Sound familiar? Another Georgia team bites the dust - another Boise State team follows.


BRACKET FINAL

(192) 1978 Clemson - 20
(64) 1994 Florida State - 27
Florida State's speed was too much for the Tigers as the Seminole receivers ran circles around Clemson en route to advancing to the Bracket of Champions. Bobby Bowden has a number of teams projected to make the final field of 64 in this tournament, but the '94 squad is the first one to officially play their way in.

Kez McCorvey, Omar Ellison, and Warrick Dunn each caught touchdown passes from Danny Kanell. It was clear from the beginning that Bowden was going to test Rex Varn, Willie Jordan, and the rest of the Clemson secondary. Kanell threw for 275 yards on the day, 178 coming in the first half alone.

Clemson was able to mount a small comeback in the third quarter. Tailback Lester Brown was contained most of the day by Derrick Brooks and company, so Danny Ford called on his fullback Marvin Sims. Sims had two long runs to set up a Steve Fuller touchdown pass to Jerry Butler, but Clemson could never get closer than 7 points the rest of the way.

1994 Florida State (#64 overall seed) advances to the Bracket of Champions. The Seminoles will face the winner of Bracket 1 in the first round.
