Missouri 20     Arizona State 14     Final

As expected, this game came down to the very end as Arizona State had two chances to tie or win within the last minute but was not able to convert on 4th down plays. The first half was a struggle with several three and out possessions from both teams before Arizona State struck with a 20 yard touchdown pass from Rudy Carpenter to Ryan Torain. Missouri responded just before halftime with a Chase Daniel 4 yard touchdown run. Missouri took the opening kickoff in the second half into field goal territory where they were able to convert a 37 yard try to take a 10-7 lead. Arizona State tried to tie with a long 57 yard attempt that fell short. On the very next play, Chase Daniel hit Jared Perry with a 60 yard touchdown pass to put Mizzou up 17-7 going into the 4th quarter. Arizona State added another touchdown midway through the 4th quarter with another touchdown pass, this one to Rudy Burgess. But the Sun Devils couldn't get any closer as the two failed 4th down conversions, wrapped around a 41 yard field goal for Missouri, sealed their fate on their 2007 college football playoffs.

LSU 42     Central Michigan 14       Final

The #2 ranked LSU Tigers had all they could handle from Central Michigan, trailing 14-13 at halftime, before taking advantage of turnovers on three consecutive drives in the second half to pull away and advance to the round of eight. Dan LeFevour threw a 17 yard touchdown strike to WR Jemmy Jasmin to give the Chippewas a 14-13 lead going into the break, but fumbled the second half kickoff to give LSU solid field position that allowed Matt Flynn to throw to Trindon Holiday for one of his five TD passes on the night that gave LSU a lead they would not relinquish. Flynn finished with 417 yards passing through the air as LSU could not be stopped in the second half.

USC 30    Hawaii 10     Final

USC put an end to Hawaii's undefeated season with a 30-10 win at home. After Hawaii drive the length of the field after taking the opening kickoff and scoring on a Colt Brennan touchdown pass, USC's defense stepped up and limited Hawaii's powerful offense to only a field goal the rest of the way. A 17 yard John David Booty touchdown pass to Patrick Turner tied the score at 7 on USC's first possession, and then a methodical running game controlled the tempo for the Trojans, pounding out 235 yards on 49 carries, with Chauncey Washington leading the way with 100 of those yards on 20 carries.

Georgia 22    BYU 19      Final

The 5th seeded Bulldogs beat B.Y.U. in this battle in Athens, Georgia in a classic playoff battle. Max Hall's fumble inside the BYU 5 yard line with 2:00 helped Georgia score the winning touchdown on a 5 yard pass from Matthew Stafford to AJ Bryant, erasing BYU's 19-14 lead. After converting the two point conversion, BYU had one last chance to tie or win, and moved the ball to Georgia's 36 yard line before a crucal sack moved them out of field goal range. One last shot at the end zone fell incomplete, allowing Georgia to advance to play a home game against SEC rival Florida next week.
