- NConf Record: 0-0
Overall: 17-26
vs. FCS: 0-0
Overall: 8-9
Best Performance: Idaho St. 30, (#21) Cal Poly 28 - Despite being outgained & losing turnovers, the Bengals turned Cal Poly's greatest weapon against them; ISU went 3/3 on fourth down while the 'Stangs went 1/5.
Worst Performance: North Dakota 12, Weber St. 24 - The No-Nicks actually had a 100-yard rusher for once, but the Keaton Studsrud experiment didn't go any better than last week.
Most Surprising Result: (#25) Northern Arizona 23, UC Davis 21 - Not being able to score a touchdown in the redzone against a defense like UC Davis's isn't a good sign for a probable playoff team.

- NConf Record: 0-0
Overall: 16-23
vs. FCS: 0-0
Overall: 8-9
Best Performance: Stephen F. Austin 31, (#6) McNeese St. 16 - Zach Conque completes 91% of his passes as the Lumberjacks more than offset an ineffective performance by Gus Johnson.
Worst Performance: Houston Baptist 7, (#14) Southeastern Louisiana 76 - I don't think I've ever seen a team get outgained by 726 yards before.
Most Surprising Result: (#6) McNeese St. 16, Stephen F. Austin 31 - The Cowboys don't usually play like this at home until the playoffs.

- NConf Record: 0-0
Overall: 28-11
vs. FCS: 0-0
Overall: 23-1
Best Performance: (#19) Northern Iowa 23, (#1) North Dakota St. 3 - The usual Bison script is flipped as the desperate Panthers outrush them 213-43.
Worst Performance: South Dakota 29, Western Illinois 44 - The Coyotes allow Trenton Norvell to throw for 287 yards and 5 touchdowns on just 28 attempts as they all but clinch last place.
Most Surprising Result: (#17) Indiana St. 17, (#22) South Dakota St. 32 - Sycamores look decidedly uncompetitive in a crucial home matchup.

- NConf Record: 0-1
Overall: 14-19
vs. FCS: 0-0
Overall: 6-10
Best Performance: (#4) Jacksonville St. 20, (#16) Eastern Kentucky 6 - Gamecocks win rushing 357-100 in a game where redzone defense ruled.
Worst Performance: Southeast Missouri St. 26, Tennessee Tech 27 - If Austin Peay wasn't still on their schedule, it would be looking like a 6-game losing streak to end the season for the Redhawks.
Most Surprising Result: Tennessee St. 31, Austin Peay 27 - The Tigers did end their 5-game skid, but needing to rally from an 11-point deficit against the awful Governors isn't much different than a loss.

Best Performance: Drake 34, Dayton 30 - The Bulldogs suddenly find a running game as they take out Jacksonville's biggest threat.
Worst Performance: Butler 3, Valparaiso 17 - Butler becomes the first DI team to fail to score a touchdown against Valpo since 1998.
Most Surprising Result: Valparaiso 17, Butler 3 - The Crusaders beat a Pioneer League team other than Campbell for the first time in 6 years.
