   Oregon and Auburn
2. Stanford and Virginia Tech
   Wisconsin and TCU

Though the 2010-11 BCS National Championship featured two of the most explosive offenses in the nation, the game turned into a defensive slugfest. The Auburn Tigers managed to walk away with a 22-19 victory after hitting a last-second field goal as time expired.

1. LSU and Texas A&M
   Alabama and Michigan State
2. Stanford and Virginia Tech
   South Carolina and Florida State

   Oklahoma State and Arizona

Traditionally, a spot in the Rose Bowl is reserved for the champions of the Pac 12 Conference and the Big Ten Conference. However, should one of these teams reach the BCS National Championship, the second spot goes to a team from a non-qualifying conference, which is why TCU gained entry.

1. Mississippi State and Michigan
   Nevada and Boston College
2. Florida and Penn State
   Ohio State and Arkansas

The 2010-11 Sugar Bowl was the final game for Ohio State's quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who decided to forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Had he stayed in college, Pryor would have been suspended for the first five games of the next season for selling memorabilia.

1. Kansas State and Arkansas
   Penn State and Houston
2. Clemson and West Virginia
   Georgia Tech and Utah

   Ohio State and Florida
2. Nebraska and South Carolina

1. Iowa and Oklahoma
   Auburn and Virginia
2. Wisconsin and Oregon
   Michigan and Virginia Tech

Typically, the Sugar Bowl features a team from the SEC, but since both Alabama and LSU were playing in the National Championship, two spots were left to be filled. Michigan and Virginia Tech were given the two slots, making it the most recent Sugar Bowl to not feature an SEC team.

1. Stanford and Wisconsin
   Georgia Tech and USC
2. Texas and Oregon State
   Iowa State and Tulsa

   Kent State and Arkansas State
2. Pittsburgh and Ole Miss
   Louisville and Florida

With only one loss on the season, the Florida Gators came into the 2012-13 Sugar Bowl favored by 13 and a half points. However, after multiple turnovers and poor overall offensive production, they lost the game 33-23.

1. Georgia and Nebraska
   Notre Dame and Alabama
2. Clemson and LSU
   Texas and Oregon State

Notre Dame and Alabama both had dominant defenses throughout the 2012-13 season. The defense for the Fighting Irish failed to show up for the national championship, though, as they gave up 529 yards and 42 points.

1. Kansas State and Oregon
   Pittsburgh and Ole Miss
2. Northern Illinois and Florida State
   Michigan State and TCU

1. Vanderbilt and Houston
   Missouri and Oklahoma State
2. UCF and Baylor
   Texas A&M and Duke

With one of the most explosive offenses in college football, Baylor was favored to win the 2013-14 Fiesta Bowl by 16 and a half points. UFC had different plans, though, and came out hot, scoring 28 of their 52 points in the first half as they went on to win the game by 10.

1. Oklahoma and Alabama
   North Texas and UNLV
2. Mississippi State and Rice
   UCLA and Virginia Tech

Having just missed out on making it to another national championship, the Alabama Crimson Tide's defense was not motivated for their bowl game, giving up 45 points to the Oklahoma Sooners. It was the most points Alabama allowed all season.

   Oregon and Florida State

Florida State put together the only undefeated season of any team that reached the 2014-15 College Football Playoffs. However, the Seminoles had a relatively easy schedule, which showed when they lost the Rose Bowl 59-20.

1. Michigan State and Baylor
   Virginia Tech and Cincinnati
2. Arizona State and Duke
   Penn State and Boston College

When the first ever College Football Playoff rankings came out, the Baylor Bears got the short end of the straw and barely missed making it into the playoffs. Instead, they faced Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl Classic, where the Bears would again come up short.

1. Georgia and Louisville
   Clemson and Oklahoma
2. USC and Nebraska
   Ohio State and Alabama

The Ohio State Buckeyes shocked the college football world when they upset number one-ranked Alabama in the 2014-15 Sugar Bowl. The biggest surprise was that Ohio State came into the game with their third string quarterback as the starter.

1. Boise State and Arizona
   UCLA and Kansas State
2. Ole Miss and TCU
   Oklahoma State and Washington

Years after the 2014-15 season for Ole Miss, the team vacated most of the wins they racked up during the season due to recruiting violations from the period. They also vacated wins from the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016 seasons.

1. Texas A&M and Virginia Tech
   Arkansas and Texas
2. Notre Dame and LSU

   Utah and BYU
2. Washington State and Miami
   Nebraska and UCLA

The 2015-16 Peach Bowl was the first major bowl game for the Houston Cougars since they played in the 1985 Cotton Bowl Classic. The Cougars came ready to play and easily defeated a Florida State team that didn't seem very interested in the game.

   Alabama and Clemson
2. Baylor and North Carolina
   LSU and Texas Tech

Deshaun Watson was a stud for the Clemson Tigers in the 2015-16 National Championship, as he put up a national championship game record 478 total yards by himself. It wasn't enough to outscore the Alabama Crimson Tide, however, and Clemson went down 45-40.

1. West Virginia and Arizona State
   Georgia and Penn State
2. Stanford and Iowa
   TCU and Oregon

Iowa's only loss in the 2015-16 season was in the Big Ten Championship to the Michigan State Spartans. Their competition was pretty soft throughout the year, though, so it wasn't surprising when they were left out of the College Football Playoffs.

1. Ole Miss and Oklahoma
   Arizona and New Mexico
2. Washington State and Miami
   Baylor and North Carolina

The Ole Miss Rebels got their tenth win of the season when they defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the 2015-16 Sugar Bowl. The win marked the first time the school reached ten wins since 2003.

   Wisconsin and Western Michigan
2. Idaho and Colorado
   Boston College and Maryland

Western Michigan was one of only two schools to make it to a major bowl game in the 2016-17 season with an undefeated record. They wouldn't end the season undefeated, however, as they lost the Cotton Bowl Classic to Wisconsin.

1. Florida State and Michigan
   Boston College and Maryland
2. Wake Forest and Temple
   Northwestern and Pittsburgh

2. Florida State and Southern Miss

1. Oregon and Boise State
   Georgia and Oklahoma
2. Kansas State and UCLA

1. South Carolina and Michigan
   Mississippi State and Louisville
2. Northwestern and Kentucky
   Ohio State and USC

Finishing the season ranked number five, the Ohio State Buckeyes just missed out on making the College Football Playoffs. Had they not lost to an unranked Iowa team, they would have been in a better position to make the cut.

   Duke and Illinois
2. Texas and Missouri
   TCU and Stanford

In the 2017-18 College Football National Championship, Nick Saban faced his old defensive coordinator, Kirby Smart. Smart's knowledge of his former mentor helped Georgia take an early 13-0 lead, but Alabama made a second half comeback to win the game in overtime.

2. TCU and California

   Ohio State and Washington
2. Troy and Buffalo
   Minnesota and Georgia Tech
