- NConf Record: 4-9
Overall: 4-11
vs. FCS: 1-0
Overall: 1-1
Best Performance: Portland St. 32, (FBS) Oregon St. 35 - The Viks dominated rushing and possession time, but a pick-six & a missed field goal cost them a 2nd. Pac-12 upset in 3 years.
Worst Performance: Southern Utah 21, (FBS) Oregon 77 - The Ducks could be back to what they were 2+ years ago, I suppose, but allowing 703 yards and 77 points to anyone is not what Southern Utah or their fans have come to expect.
Most Surprising Result: Northern Arizona 24, (FBS) Arizona - The 'Jacks put up 562 yards, but they could only manage 10 points in 6 redzone trips.

Overall: 1-0
Best Performance: (#3) Sam Houston St. 48, (#7) Richmond 34 - The Bearkats don't let last season's semifinal humiliation affect them as they score 35 second-quarter points against the projected CAA runner-up.
Worst Performance: Incarnate Word 0, (FBS) Fresno St. 66 - The Cardinals are outgained 613-148 by one of the very worst teams in FBS from last season.
Most Surprising Result: Southeastern Louisiana 48, (FBS) Louisiana-Lafayette 51 - The Lions ran all over the Rajin' Cajuns, but they couldn't hold on to the ball during a key two-point-conversion try late.

Best Performance: (#4) South Dakota St. 51, Duquesne 13 - Taryn Christion throws 5 TD passes, 4 of them to Jake Wieneke, in this surprisingly ugly beatdown.
Worst Performance: Indiana St. 20, Eastern Illinois 22 - LeMonte Booker runs for 154 yards in an otherwise unimpressive performance by the Sycamores.
Most Surprising Result: (#9) Youngstown St. 21, (FBS) Pittsburgh 28 (OT) - Poor kicking & punting finished them off, but the Penguins still played the Panthers tough for the 3rd. consecutive time.

Worst Performance: Tennessee Tech 14, (#25) Western Illinois 41 - Nothing went right here as the Golden Eagles were outrushed 298-0 and dominated in many other stats, as well.
Most Surprising Result: Austin Peay 14, (FBS) Cincinnati 26 - Could the Governors actually be competitive this year, or is Cincinnati really that bad?

Overall: 0-7
Best Performance: Valparaiso 23, Montana 45 - It's too early to know if this result means much, but the Crusaders did have the Griz on the ropes for 40 minutes.
Worst Performance: Marist 6, Bucknell 45 - The Red Foxes fall to 1-12 against Bucknell in what was the most lopsided meeting in the series.
Most Surprising Result: Drake 7, South Dakota 77 - I know the Missouri Valley is better than the Pioneer, but… come on, it's not 70 points better.
Tomorrow: the rest of the playoff conferences.
