Florida’s 41-14 victory over Ohio State in Monday night’s BCS Championship Game marked the end of the 2006-2007 bowl season. With all 32 bowl games in the books, here is a look back at how Stanford’s Pacific-10 Conference opponents fared in their postseason contests.

No. 4 USC 32, No. 8 Michigan 18

Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.

Ohio State wasn’t the only high-profile Big 10 team humiliated in a bowl game — Michigan couldn’t hang with the Pac-10-champion Trojans in the “Granddaddy of Them All.”

USC quarterback John David Booty had a nearly flawless game against Michigan’s vaunted defense, throwing for 391 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Dwayne Jarrett also proved he’s one of the elite wideouts in the college game, hauling in 205 yards and two touchdowns on 11 receptions.

Surprisingly, the first half was a defensive battle and the game went to the break tied 3-3. But the Trojan offense erupted moments after halftime, as Booty found Chris McFoy on a two-yard touchdown pass to start a 31-14 Trojan run.

Both USC (11-2) and Michigan (11-2) were playing in the Rose Bowl after narrowly missing out on the BCS National Championship Game. The Trojans fell out of the title game after losing to UCLA in the final week of the regular season and Michigan finished No. 3 in the final BCS standings, falling just short of a rematch with conference rival Ohio State.

The Trojans held Michigan tailback Mike Hart to just 47 yards on 17 carries. It was the first time he had fewer than 90 yards rushing all season.

Texas A&M 10, No. 14 California 45

Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, San Diego

Marshawn Lynch showed why he was the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year, rushing for 111 yards and two touchdowns as the Bears trounced Texas A&M.

The Bears controlled the play on both sides of the ball, outgaining their Big 12 opponents 476-349.

The Aggies (9-4) looked like they would have no problem with the Bears’ defense after their opening drive, when they took the ball 61 yards on six plays for a quick touchdown. But from that point on, Cal’s defense took charge.

The Bears (10-3) limited A&M tailback Javorskie Lane to just 36 yards on seven carries. The 274-pound runner had set a school record with 19 rushing touchdowns this season.

Cal’s offense turned it on in the second half, outscoring the Aggies 31-0 after the break. Quarterback Nate Longshore threw for 235 yards and tossed one touchdown pass. Justin Forsett supplemented Lynch’s big day on the ground with 124 yards and a touchdown.

Cal’s performance erased the memory of the Bear’s last Holiday Bowl appearance in 2004. After failing to qualify for the Rose Bowl that season, Cal was crushed by Texas Tech, 45-31, in the Holiday Bowl.

No. 21 Oregon State 39, Missouri 38

Brut Sun Bowl, El Paso, Tex.

Oregon State notched a two-point conversion with 22.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter to shock Missouri in one of the most exciting games of the bowl season.

Following a Joe Newton touchdown reception in the final moments, Oregon State coach Mike Reilly opted to send the offense back out on the field to try for the win. Tailback Yvenson Bernard took a handoff up the middle for the game-winning score.

Missouri (8-5) led 31-21 entering the fourth quarter, but Beavers quarterback Matt Moore led Oregon State on a pair of late touchdown drives to put his team within striking distance. Moore finished 31-of-54 passing with 356 yards through the air and four touchdowns.

Tony Temple finished the game just four yards short of the Sun Bowl single-game rushing record. His 194 yards on 20 carries were the second most all time, but he lost four yards on his final carry to fall short of the record. He also chipped in a pair of touchdown runs.

The Beavers (10-4) finished the season on an 8-1 run after three early ugly losses, including a pair of 28-point losses to Boise State and Cal.

Missouri outgained Oregon State 561-457, including a 101-yard advantage on the ground.

Florida State 44, UCLA 27

Emerald Bowl, San Francisco

Florida State dominated the second half at AT&T Park, outscoring the Bruins 31-7 in the period to clinch another winning season for Bobby Bowden.

Drew Weatherford passed for 325 yards and Lorenzo Booker rushed for 91 yards, caught 117 yards and notched two scores to pace the Seminoles (7-6). The Florida State offense explosion was surprising considering UCLA’s solid defensive performance against USC in the Bruins’ previous game. In UCLA’s 12-9 upset of the Trojans, the Bruins (7-6) limited the Pac-10 champions to just one offensive touchdown.

Trailing by four, the Seminoles outscored UCLA 21-0 in the fourth quarter to snatch the win. They capped their scoring with a 86-yard interception return for a touchdown by Tony Carter.

UCLA’s Patrick Cowan, who had played well since taking over for Ben Olson midseason, passed for 240 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw a pair of interceptions.

The bowl win was the 20th of Bowden’s career as a head coach, putting him only one win behind Joe Paterno, the all time leader.

Stanford opens the 2007 season against UCLA on Sept. 1 at Stanford Stadium.

No. 19 BYU 38, Oregon 8

Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl, Las Vegas

BYU notched their 10th straight victory and earned their first bowl win since 1996 in convincing fashion, trouncing the Ducks in all phases of the game.

Oregon, meanwhile, finished their late season collapse, losing their fourth consecutive game after starting the season 7-2. The Ducks’ only score came late in the fourth quarter when the game was already well out of hand.

Quarterback John Beck led the Cougars (11-2) offensively, passing for two touchdowns and running for one more. Beck, the second most prolific passer in BYU history, threw for 375 yards against a porous Oregon defense.

Dennis Dixon, who passed for 122 yards and a touchdown and ran for 51 yards, led Oregon’s offense coming off the bench for starter Brady Leaf. Leaf completed only six of his 14 passes for 44 yards and an interception.

The Cougars outgained the Ducks 548-260 and outpossessed Oregon by nearly 10 minutes.

Hawaii 41, Arizona State 24

Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, Honolulu

Hawaii’s Colt Brennan passed for five second-half touchdowns, breaking the NCAA record for passing touchdowns in a season while helping the Warriors to a big win against a Pac-10 opponent.

Brennan’s 58 touchdown passes vaulted him past David Klinger, who passed for 54 touchdowns in 1990. The junior finished 33-of-42 passing with 559 yards through the air and one interception in front of a home crowd of 40,623.

Brennan’s Arizona State counterpart, Rudy Carpenter, struggled to keep up with the fast paced Hawaii offense. He managed to lead the Sun Devils (7-6) to a 10-3 halftime lead on a touchdown pass to freshman Brandon Smith, but finished the day just 13-of-26 passing with 191 yards.

The bowl game marked the final game of Dirk Koetter’s head coaching tenure at Arizona State. Koetter took the Sun Devils to a 40-34 record in six seasons, but managed just a 2-19 mark against ranked opponents. Former University of Miami, Idaho, Oregon State and 49ers head coach Dennis Erickson will take over in Tempe next fall.

For Hawaii (11-3), the win was their 11th of the season. The Warrior have not won 11 games in a season since 1992.
