Quarterfinal Results

South Region:  Alabama never could get on track as Stanford controlled time of possession, didn't turn it over, and racked up 257 yards rushing to control the Tide.  Stanford 21 Alabama 14.

East Region:  Texas A&M scored early and often as Florida State's defense was exposed against a high powered Johnny Manziel led offense.  Texas A&M 31 Florida State 10.

West Region:  Northern Illinois made it two upsets in a row as they were able to get the Century Link Field crowd on their side taking down the favored Wildcats.  With 34 seconds left in regulation dual threat Jordan Lynch ran in a 27 yard TD to cap the victory.  Northern Illinois 28 Kansas State 24.

North Region:  The Fighting Irish did what they have all season...kept winning.  By the skin of their teeth Notre Dame held onto their championship hopes defeating the Gators in overtime.  Theo Riddick's 4 yard TD put the Irish up 7 with Florida's possession 2nd.  On the first play of Florida's drive Mike Gillislee fumbled and Notre Dame advanced.  Notre Dame 17 Florida 10.

Final Four- games to be played January 1st.
