Notre Dame tied the game with a 2 TD comeback: a 100-yard kickoff return in the 3rd and an 83-yard punt return in the 4th. Notre Dame took a 24-21 lead with a 29-yard FG in the 1st possession of OT. On Nebraska’s possession, they barely converted on 3rd & 9 to keep the drive alive. The Huskers finished it off with a game-winning 7-yard TD run by next season's [[Heisman Trophy|Heisman]] winner [[Eric Crouch]]. |

Florida St. held on against Georgia Tech by scoring two 4th quarter touchdowns to take a 26-15 lead. A late Georgia Tech TD wasn’t enough, and FSU kept their winning streak alive at 15 consecutive wins. |

Washington took a 27-9 lead midway through the 3rd quarter before Miami started storming back. However, Washington manages to fend it off by recovering an onside kick after a late Miami TD. This would prove to be Miami’s only loss of the season. These two teams would find themselves as #2 and #3 in the Final AP Poll, oddly enough, with Miami being ranked ahead of the Huskies despite the head-to-head victory. |

After an Oregon pick-six gave the Ducks a 23-20 lead in the 4th, the Badgers responded when RB Michael Bennett burst for an 82-yard run that set up a 1-yard TD run from QB Brooks Bollinger to provide the winning margin with 5:25 remaining. This would prove to be the Ducks' only loss until the last game of the regular season. |

'''September Week 3''' |
|||
''Sept. 16, 2000-#14 UCLA 23, #3 Michigan 20 (Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California)'' |
|||
UCLA scored the go-ahead TD with 6:30 left, but missed the extra point to keep the score 23-20. Michigan had a chance to tie the game with 3:30 left, but a bad snap led to a missed, wide left, 24-yard FG attempt. On the Bruin’s ensuing possession, they had to punt after the referees picked up a potential defensive pass interference call. Michigan QB, John Navarre led the Wolverines down the field, but threw an interception at the goal-line to seal the game with 1:28 to play. The 88,044 attendance was a UCLA record for a non-USC rivalry game. |
|||
''Sept. 16, 2000-[[2000 Stanford Cardinal football team|Stanford]] 27, #5 Texas 24 ([[Stanford Stadium]], Palo Alto, California)'' |
|||
Stanford took a 20-9 lead into the 4th quarter, looking for the big upset. But a 71-yard TD pass from QB [[Major Applewhite]], and a 2-point conversion made the score 20-17. Applewhite would strike again, with a 38-yard TD pass to give the Longhorns a 24-20 lead with just over 5 minutes left. It looked like Texas was about to avoid a major upset. |
|||
However, Stanford’s back-up QB, Chris Lewis (who replaced the injured starter in the 1st quarter), came through with a clutch TD drive. He found DeRonnie Pitts for the game-winning, 15-yard TD with 1:12 left in the game. |
|||
''Sept. 16, 2000-#6 Florida 27, #11 Tennessee 23 (Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee)'' |
|||
In front of a crowd of 108,768 in Neyland Stadium, the home Volunteers controlled much of the game, but repeatedly failed to finish drives, which led to a school record 5 field goals. Tennessee held on to a narrow 23-20 lead late into the 4th quarter. Florida drove down the field, behind QB [[Jesse Palmer]]. The Gators got to the Tennessee 3-yard line with just 14 seconds left. After a touchdown pass was called back on a holding penalty, Palmer's next pass was to WR [[Jabar Gaffney]] in the endzone. The ball made it into Gaffney's hands and was almost instantly slapped away by Vol cornerback Willie Miles. The official in the area signaled a touchdown, ruling that Gaffney had had possession of the ball long enough to be considered a catch. After a brief conference amongst the referees, the call was confirmed despite loud protests from the UT coaching staff and loud boos from the crowd. The extra point gave Florida a controversial 27–23 victory. |
|||
''Sept. 16, 2000-#9 Washington 17, Colorado 14 (Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado)'' |
|||
Washington forced a fumble after Colorado drove into Washington territory in the final minute to seal the game. |
|||
''Sept. 16, 2000-#21 Notre Dame 23, #13 Purdue 21 (Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana)'' |
|||
[[Drew Brees]] threw the go-ahead, 22-yard TD pass with 3:39 left to take a 21-20 lead. However, Notre Dame QB Gary Godsey, led the Irish to the Purdue 22-yard line, setting up the game-winning, 38-yard FG as time expired. |
|||
''Sept. 16, 2000-#25 Southern Miss 21, #15 Alabama 0 (Legion Field, Birmingham, Alabama)'' |
|||
Alabama gets shut out at Legion Field, for an embarrassing loss that drops them from the national rankings for the remainder of the season. They came into the season ranked #3. They would end the season 3-8. |

Two human polls and one formulaic ranking make up the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football rankings. Unlike most sports, college football's governing body, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), does not bestow a National Championship title for Division I-A football. That title is primarily bestowed by different polling agencies. There are several polls that currently exist. The main weekly polls are the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. About halfway through the season the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Standings are released.

AP Poll Progression
August
Aug. 26, 2000-#2 Florida St. 29, BYU 3 (Alltel Stadium, Jacksonville, Florida)
Aug. 26, 2000-#8 Kansas St. 27, Iowa 7 (Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri, Eddie Robinson Classic) Bill Snyder faces the program where he served as offensive coordinator and quarterback's coach for a decade in Iowa. He faced a man he had worked with under Hayden Fry in Kirk Ferentz in his 2nd season after taking over head coaching duties from Fry. However, Ferentz and the Hawkeyes were in rebuilding mode, while Kansas St. was in the midst of its golden age under Snyder, so the Wildcats take an easy victory on a neutral field.
Aug. 27, 2000-#15 USC 29, #22 Penn St. 5 (Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Kickoff Classic) This win jumps USC to #12 in the polls, while Penn St. falls from the poll for the remainder of the year.
Aug. 31, 2000-#4 Wisconsin 19, Western Michigan 7 (Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, Wisconsin) These two programs would go on to play in the 2017 Cotton Bowl, but back in 2000, Wisconsin was coming off back-to-back Rose Bowl wins, and season that saw Ron Dayne win the school's second ever Heisman award. Expectations were high in Madison, but the Badgers' 1st game of the 2000 campaign was a less than impressive 12-point victory over a MAC team. Michael Bennett led the way with 128 yards rushing and a TD run.
Aug. 31, 2000-#5 Miami 61, McNeese St. (Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida) After a series of mediocre years by Miami standards, the Canes were hoping the 2000 campaign would bring them back to the national spotlight.
Aug. 31, 2000-#18 Ole Miss 49, Tulane 20 (Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, Mississippi)
Changes in poll: USC leapfrogs Tennessee, Washington, and Purdue to #12, while Penn St. drops from the poll making room for Texas A&M.
September-Week 1
Sept. 2, 2000-#1 Nebraska 49, San Jose St. 13 (Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, Nebraska)
Sept. 2, 2000-UCLA 35, #3 Alabama 24 (Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California) Alabama comes into the season with high hopes, but things get off to a bad start at the Rose Bowl. After starting the season at #3, by the end of September, Alabama will fall from the rankings for good.
Sept. 2, 2000-#6 Michigan 42, Bowling Green 7 (Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan) Tom Brady's replacement at QB at Michigan, John Navarre completed 15-of-19 passing for 265 yards and 4 TDs, looks impressive in the Wolverine's debut.
Sept. 2, 2000-#9 Florida 40, Ball St. 19 (Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Florida)
Sept. 2, 2000-#10 Georgia 29, Georgia Southern 7 (Sanford Stadium, Athens, Georgia)
Sept. 2, 2000-#11 Virginia Tech 52, Akron 23 (Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, Virginia) The Hokies were eager to prove their 1999 campaign that took them all the way to the national championship game wasn't a fluke. Redshirt sophomore QB Michael Vick threw for 186 yards and 2 TDs, while running for another 102 and 2 TDs to lead them to an easy opening victory.
Sept. 2, 2000-#13 Tennessee 19, #23 Southern Miss 16 (Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee) Tennessee led 19-3 before Southern Miss rattled off 13-straight 4th quarter points to make it interesting, but the Vols hang on for the win.
Sept. 2, 2000-#14 Washington 44, Idaho 20 (Husky Stadium, Seattle, Washington) Washington gets their Rose Bowl campaign off to a good start to set up their showdown against Miami next week when the Canes come to visit Husky Stadium.
Sept. 2, 2000-#15 Purdue 48, Central Michigan 0 (Ross-Ade Stadium, West Lafayette, Indiana) Meanwhile, the other half of Washington's eventual Rose Bowl match-up gets their own season off to a shining start.
Sept. 2, 2000-#16 Ohio St. 43, Fresno St. 10 (Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio)
Sept. 2, 2000-#17 Clemson 38, The Citadel 0 (Memorial Stadium, Clemson, South Carolina)
Sept. 2, 2000-#19 Oklahoma 55, UTEP 14 (Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman, Oklahoma) In Bob Stoops' 2nd season as Oklahoma coach, Sooner fans were hoping for improvement from OU's 7-5 1999 campaign. Few could have expected that this dominant win over UTEP was the beginning of a national championship season.
Sept. 2, 2000-#21 Illinois 35, Middle Tennessee 6 (Memorial Stadium, Champaign, Illinois)
Sept. 2, 2000-Colorado St. 28, #23 Colorado 24 (Mile High Stadium, Denver, Colorado, Rocky Mountain Showdown) This game signaled a reversal of fortunes for these teams. The Buffaloes came in ranked, but after the loss are dropped from the rankings for good. The Buffs would finish 2000 a disapointing 3-8. Meanwhile, for the Rams, this was the beginning of a 10-2 season that would see them finish ranked #14 in the Final AP Poll.
Sept. 2, 2000-Notre Dame 24, #25 Texas A&M 10 (Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana) The loss drops Texas A&M from the polls for the remainder of their 7-5 season. Meanwhile, the win for the Irish puts them at #23 in the next AP Poll.
Sept. 2, 2000-(#4 in the season's Final AP Poll) Oregon St. 21, Eastern Washington 19 (Reser Stadium, Corvallis, Oregon) What would turn out to be one of the best seasons ever for the Beavers, almost started out in disaster. Oregon St. barely hung on against their Division I-AA opponent to start the season 1-0.
Sept. 2, 2000-(#19 in the Final AP Poll) South Carolina 31, New Mexico St. 0 (Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, South Carolina) South Carolina ends a 21-game losing streak, stretching back to 1998. They are coached by Lou Holtz, who is in his 2nd season as the Gamecocks head coach.
September Week 2
Sept. 9, 2000-#1 Nebraska 27, #23 Notre Dame 24 (OT) (Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana) Notre Dame tied the game with a 2 TD comeback: a 100-yard kickoff return in the 3rd and an 83-yard punt return in the 4th. Notre Dame took a 24-21 lead with a 29-yard FG in the 1st possession of OT. On Nebraska’s possession, they barely converted on 3rd & 9 to keep the drive alive. The Huskers finished it off with a game-winning 7-yard TD run by next season's Heisman winner Eric Crouch.
Sept. 9, 2000-#2 Florida St. 26, Georgia Tech 21 (Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia) Florida St. held on against Georgia Tech by scoring two 4th quarter touchdowns to take a 26-15 lead. A late Georgia Tech TD wasn’t enough, and FSU kept their winning streak alive at 15 consecutive wins.
Sept. 9, 2000-#15 Washington 34, #4 Miami 29 (Husky Stadium, Seattle, Washington) Washington took a 27-9 lead midway through the 3rd quarter before Miami started storming back. However, Washington manages to fend it off by recovering an onside kick after a late Miami TD. This would prove to be Miami’s only loss of the season. These two teams would find themselves as #2 and #3 in the Final AP Poll, oddly enough, with Miami being ranked ahead of the Huskies despite the head-to-head victory.
Sept. 9, 2000-#5 Wisconsin 27, Oregon 23 (Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, Wisconsin) After an Oregon pick-six gave the Ducks a 23-20 lead in the 4th, the Badgers responded when RB Michael Bennett burst for an 82-yard run that set up a 1-yard TD run from QB Brooks Bollinger to provide the winning margin with 5:25 remaining. This would prove to be the Ducks' only loss until the last game of the regular season.
Sept. 9, 2000-South Carolina 21, #10 Georgia 10 (Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, South Carolina) Just a week after their first win in 2 years, the Gamecocks topple a top ten SEC East rival.
September Week 3
Sept. 16, 2000-#14 UCLA 23, #3 Michigan 20 (Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California) UCLA scored the go-ahead TD with 6:30 left, but missed the extra point to keep the score 23-20. Michigan had a chance to tie the game with 3:30 left, but a bad snap led to a missed, wide left, 24-yard FG attempt. On the Bruin’s ensuing possession, they had to punt after the referees picked up a potential defensive pass interference call. Michigan QB, John Navarre led the Wolverines down the field, but threw an interception at the goal-line to seal the game with 1:28 to play. The 88,044 attendance was a UCLA record for a non-USC rivalry game.
Sept. 16, 2000-Stanford 27, #5 Texas 24 (Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto, California) Stanford took a 20-9 lead into the 4th quarter, looking for the big upset. But a 71-yard TD pass from QB Major Applewhite, and a 2-point conversion made the score 20-17. Applewhite would strike again, with a 38-yard TD pass to give the Longhorns a 24-20 lead with just over 5 minutes left. It looked like Texas was about to avoid a major upset. However, Stanford’s back-up QB, Chris Lewis (who replaced the injured starter in the 1st quarter), came through with a clutch TD drive. He found DeRonnie Pitts for the game-winning, 15-yard TD with 1:12 left in the game.
Sept. 16, 2000-#6 Florida 27, #11 Tennessee 23 (Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee) In front of a crowd of 108,768 in Neyland Stadium, the home Volunteers controlled much of the game, but repeatedly failed to finish drives, which led to a school record 5 field goals. Tennessee held on to a narrow 23-20 lead late into the 4th quarter. Florida drove down the field, behind QB Jesse Palmer. The Gators got to the Tennessee 3-yard line with just 14 seconds left. After a touchdown pass was called back on a holding penalty, Palmer's next pass was to WR Jabar Gaffney in the endzone. The ball made it into Gaffney's hands and was almost instantly slapped away by Vol cornerback Willie Miles. The official in the area signaled a touchdown, ruling that Gaffney had had possession of the ball long enough to be considered a catch. After a brief conference amongst the referees, the call was confirmed despite loud protests from the UT coaching staff and loud boos from the crowd. The extra point gave Florida a controversial 27–23 victory.
Sept. 16, 2000-#9 Washington 17, Colorado 14 (Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado) Washington forced a fumble after Colorado drove into Washington territory in the final minute to seal the game.
Sept. 16, 2000-#21 Notre Dame 23, #13 Purdue 21 (Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana) Drew Brees threw the go-ahead, 22-yard TD pass with 3:39 left to take a 21-20 lead. However, Notre Dame QB Gary Godsey, led the Irish to the Purdue 22-yard line, setting up the game-winning, 38-yard FG as time expired.
Sept. 16, 2000-#25 Southern Miss 21, #15 Alabama 0 (Legion Field, Birmingham, Alabama) Alabama gets shut out at Legion Field, for an embarrassing loss that drops them from the national rankings for the remainder of the season. They came into the season ranked #3. They would end the season 3-8.
