Texas Stuns USC In Rose Bowl

USC came into the Rose Bowl with two Heisman Trophy winners (Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart) and a BCS Championship already to its credit, but it was Vince Young and Texas that stole the show.  Trailing by five with just over two minutes left, the Longhorns stopped USC on fourth-and-two at the Texas 45-yard line and then drove for the winning TD on a Young 8-yard run with just 19 second left to secure a 41-38 victory.  The win gave Texas its first championship since 1970 and ended USC's winning streak at 34 straight games -- fourth longest in Division I-A history.  In the Fiesta Bowl, Ohio State spoiled a solid debut by Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis by dominating the Irish (34-20) en route to a third place finish in the Index.  Here are the final rankings for the 2005 college football season.

Appalachian State Edges No. Iowa For I-AA Title

With the offense struggling, Appalachian State got what it needed from the defense when Marques Murrell stripped the ball from Northern Iowa QB Eric Sanders and Jason Hunter scooped it up and ran 15 yards for the game-winning TD in a 21-16 victory for the Mountaineers.  The Panthers led 16-7 at the half, but saw the lead cut to two when ASU QB Richie Williams shook off an ankle injury and drove the Mountaineers to a TD midway through the third quarter.  From there the defense did the rest as Appalachian State claimed its first I-AA title.  Here's the final I-AA rankings for 2003.
