  Best Performance: (#8) Montana St. 21, (#11) Montana 16 - Thanks to 4 second-half turnovers by the Griz, the Bobcats win the Brawl of the Wild without Mike Kramer or Travis Lulay for the first time since 1985.
  
  Worst Performance: Portland St. 14, Northern Arizona 62 - The Viking defense is ripped to shreds: they allowed Giovannie Dixon & Zach Bauman to run for a combined 371 yards and 4 touchdowns on just 27 carries & Michael Herrick to throw for 261 yards and 4 touchdowns on just 22 attempts. PSU's D allowed a pathetic 11.1 yards-per-play. Imagine how bad this would have been if NAU hadn't lost 4 fumbles.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Northern Arizona 62, Portland St. 14 - The 'Jacks exorcise 3 years of late-season frustrations on one hapless opponent.

  Best Performance: (#5) Stephen F. Austin 36, Northwestern St. 13 - Jeremy Moses throws for 489 yards and 3 touchdowns in this playoff tune-up. Since the confusing Texas State choke, SFA has won three straight games by an average margin of 31.7.

  Most Surprising Result: Texas State - The Bobcats go 1-6 in conference, beating the champs & no-one else.

  Best Performance: (#21) Liberty 54, Stony Brook 28 - Mike Brown puts up a monstrous 494 yards of total offense and 4 total touchdowns, but this beatdown wasn't good enough to overcome last week's choke.
  
  Worst Performance: Charleston Southern 3, Coastal Carolina 70 - The Bucs have been outscored by an average of 18 points in this rivalry.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Stony Brook 28, (#21) Liberty 54 - All the Seawolves had to do to make the playoffs was hold Liberty under 42 points & they couldn't do it. Instead, they provide the Chanticleers the biggest gift of the season.

  Best Performance: Harvard 28, Yale 21 - Crimson another team that won a rivalry with less than 200 yards of offense. This time it was due to an 84-yard KR touchdown by Marco Iannuzzi & a terrible punting performance by the Bulldogs.
