MICHIGAN 38, Georgia 17
You want to know how to beat Georgia’s defense?  J.T. Daniels’ arm, and….checks notes, Cade McNamera’s...legs?  McNamera had a 23 yard touchdown run, and a 47 yard run to set up another, and Daniels threw three interceptions, two inside his own 40.  McNamera only threw for 116 yards, but Haskins had 82 rushing yards, to go with 56 from Blake Corum.  While Georgia outgained Michigan by 97 yards, the -3 turnover differential was too much to overcome.

Ole Miss 51, Nevada 24
Ole Miss scored on their first two “drives” needing a total of only 7 offensive plays to do so, and Nevada was never in it.  It was 38-10 at halftime, and Matt Corral didn’t play a snap of the fourth quarter, while throwing for over 400 yards.

Notre Dame 24, Iowa State 21
The Irish were -4 in turnovers, including -2 in the 4th quarter, which they entered down 21-17, and still found a way to win.  Kyren Williams ran for 189 yards, but the most important of those were the 3rd and 6 and 3rd and 2 pickups on the game clinching drive, after Matt Campbell opted to punt the ball back to Notre Dame with 4 and a half minutes left, rather than go for 4th and 8.  The Cyclones never did get the ball back.

MINNESOTA 25, OHIO STATE 14
The Ohio State offense was having issues all day long, particularly with dropped balls.  C.J. Stroud still threw for 293 yards, but had six drops from his receivers, including one in the end zone with 4 seconds left in the first half, that would have sent the Buckeyes into the break up 21-6.  Instead they subsequently missed the field goal, and the lead remained 14-6, and was still 14-12 going into the fourth.  Matthew Trickett being 4 for 4 on field goals, with a long of 51 held Minnesota in the game.  The Gophers took their first lead on a 38 yard screen pass to MarKeise Irving, but the two point conversion failed.  After being let down by his receivers all day, Stroud made his first big mistake, throwing a pass behind Garrett Wilson, that Terrell Smith picked off, and returned to the Buckeye 23.  Five plays later the Gophers punched it in on the keeper from Tanner Morgan, who finished with 166 passing yards.  Minnesota’s Cinderella run continued with their third consecutive road victory in the winner’s bracket, after beating Michigan State and Arkansas

MICHIGAN 23, Oklahoma 19
Michigan jumped out to a 14-0 lead, thanks to a pair of first quarter Caleb Williams interceptions.  The Sooners scored 19 unanswered, but Cade McNamera answered back to give Michigan the lead.  The decisive moment was Harbaugh electing to go for it on 4th and 3 from the 39 with just over 4 minutes left, up 20-19, rather than attempt the long field goal.  Moody did kick the go ahead field goal, but from much closer, with just 56 seconds left.  Oklahoma had a hail mary shot, but the ball fell incomplete.  Williams threw for 396 yards and a pair of scores, but his three interceptions, which led to two Michigan touchdowns, including a pick six from Dax Hill, were too much to overcome.  The Sooners defense did shut down Hasaan Haskins, with just 62 yards on under 3 yards per carry.

Tennessee 37, OHIO STATE 34 (OHIO STATE eliminated)
The Buckeyes took the opening kickoff to the house, and Tennessee immediately did the same.  That set the stage for a game where stops were rare, although Tennessee recorded the final score with 8:20 on a 5 yard pass from Hendon Hooker to Jacob Warren.  The Vol defense finally stepped up, and got their first back to back stops of the game, and only their third and fourth overall.  TreVeyon Henderson ran wild with the Buckeye backfield banged up, with 212 receiving yards, but Hooker outdueled C.J. Stroud, throwing for 331 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Alabama 55, San Diego State 17 (San Diego State eliminated)
Crimson Tide fans were having Mountain West PTSD when the Aztecs took a 10-7 lead midway through the first.  No worries this time, as Bryce Young absolutely took over from that point on.  The big swing was when Alabama got a stop on 4th and 2 from the 32, with 53 seconds left in the half, up 21-10.  Brady Hoke elected to kick the field goal rather than go for it.  It was wide left, and Bama scored a touchdown three plays later, to take a 28-10 lead, rather than 21-13.  Bryce Young had 289 first half passing yards en route to 413 total passing yards.

Clemson 18, WISCONSIN 14
This game was every bit as ugly as the score would suggest.  Wisconsin led 14-10 at the half, thanks to a two minute drive capped off with a 16 yard pass to Jake Ferguson.  They didn’t score again, but Clemson was able to tally a safety after the Badgers started a drive at their own 4, thanks to a block in the back on a kick return.  D.J. Uiagalele only threw for 141 yards, but had no turnovers, and recorded his one passing touchdown with 12:18 left.  The two point conversion failed, but it didn’t matter, Wisconsin never again crossed midfield.

PENN STATE 34, Nevada 17 (Nevada eliminated)
Not much to say here other than Clifford, with 268 yards passing and 103 yards rushing wasn’t going to waste a second shot at Nevada.
