Pacific 12
Utah 47, Southern California 24 - The first upset of playoff weekend, one that has massive implications for the college football playoff. The Trojans scored easily on their first and second drives, and leading early 14-3 it appeared that they might turn the game into a rout. The Utes defense settled in, and the offense scored 23 points in the fourth quarter to blow the game open. The Trojans had only 56 yards rushing.
Conference USA
Texas-San Antonio 48, North Texas 27 - The Roadrunners took a 24-10 lead into the half. The Mean Green got to within 34-27 in the fourth quarter, but UTSA scored the final 14 points. UNT had two turnovers.

Kansas State 31, TCU 28, OT - After appearing to be out of the game trailing 28-17 in the fourth quarter, the Horned Frogs rallied to tie the game late on a touchdown and two point conversion.

Mid American
Toledo 17, Ohio 7 - The Rockets took the lead for good with 16 seconds remaining in the half on a field goal to lead 10-7. A conference famous for high scores had none of that in their title game.
