  Best Performance: (#15) Montana St. 45, (#20) Cal Poly 28 - The Bobcats beat Cal Poly for the first time in 19 years in surprisingly comfortable fashion.
  
  Worst Performance: Idaho St. 8, (FBS) UNLV 80 - A 6-0 turnover disadvantage and a 517-91 rushing yard deficit… against UNLV? Keep in mind Northern Colorado lost to the Rebels by just 1 point last year.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#20) Cal Poly 28, (#15) Montana St. 45 - The loss of CB Chris Fletcher seems to be deeply affecting the Mustangs as they allow Dakota Prukop to put up 399 passing yards and a 240.1 efficiency rating.

  Best Performance: Central Arkansas 49, Northwestern St. 21 - Bear quarterbacks combine to go 19/24 for 254 yards and 4 touchdowns in a needed win.
  
  Worst Performance: Northwestern St. 21, Central Arkansas 49 - The Demons are 0-4 and allowing 7.0 yards-per-carry.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Incarnate Word 17, (FBS) UTEP 27 - UTEP isn't exactly the best FBS team, but it still could be a big step for the Cardinals that they outgained an FBS and led them in the second half.

  Best Performance: Southern Illinois 34, (#10) Liberty 13 - The Salukis win rushing 255-81 as they dispatch the hot Flames.
  
  Worst Performance: (#6) South Dakota St. 34, Robert Morris 10 - The Jackrabbits didn't ultimately have to sweat this one out, but allowing 228 rushing yards to a team like RMU has to be a concern.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Southern Illinois 34, (#10) Liberty 13 - A textbook example of the infamous Montana Hangover.

  Best Performance: (#1) Jacksonville St. 48, Tennessee-Martin 41 - They did nearly blow a 28-point lead, but the Gamecocks still managed to pull out their 12th. straight OVC win.
  
  Worst Performance: Southeast Missouri St. 21, (DII) Shorter 26 - Redhawks allow 300 rushing yards to a DII in a pathetic performance.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Southeast Missouri St. 21, (DII) Shorter 26 - It's one thing for Shorter to beat Delaware State, but this upset of a team that beat SIU and nearly knocked off Indiana State is quite puzzling.

  Worst Performance: Davidson 0, Morehead St. 34 - For the Wildcats, being shut out by defensively-challenged Morehead means success is still an eternity away.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Jacksonville 20, Marist 16 - This surprisingly close game had 11 combined turnovers and just 17 points scored in 9 combined redzone trips.

Tomorrow: the rest of the playoff conferences.

  Best Performance: Colgate 31, Holy Cross 14 - The Raiders run for 266 yards and get an unusually strong defensive effort in handling the Crusaders.
  
  Worst Performance: Lehigh 26, Princeton 52 - 4 turnovers made Lehigh's 561 yards rather worthless.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Lehigh 26, Princeton 52 - Not only was the margin surprising, but this was only Lehigh's 4th. loss in the last 20 years (16 meetings) against Princeton.

  Best Performance: Bryant 17, (#2) Coastal Carolina 31 - The only other choice was SFPA's victory over a Boca Raton YMCA team, so this somewhat respectable loss "wins."
  
  Worst Performance: Wagner 24, Lafayette 35 - Seahawks fall to 0-4 all-time versus Lafayette.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Wagner 24, Lafayette 35 - The post-Hameline era in Staten Island is off to an 0-3 start as the Seahawk secondary gets shredded by a rather weak opponent.

  Best Performance: (#9) James Madison 48, (FBS) SMU 45 - Vad Lee throws for 250+ and runs for 250+ and puts up 5 total touchdowns in a crazy win over an improved Mustang squad.
  
  Worst Performance: Towson 13, Elon 17 - Despite nearly doubling the Phoenix in total offense, the Tigers fall thanks to 4 turnovers and 25% redzone scoring.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#5) Villanova 13, Penn 24 - John Robertson's injury causes a total collapse of the Wildcat offense as they struggle mightily against an Ivy non-contender.

  Best Performance: Charleston Southern 33, The Citadel 20 - The Bucs dominate the second half, get two 100-yard rushers, and hold the deadly option attack of The Citadel under 200 rushing yards.
  
  Worst Performance: Kennesaw St. 27, Dayton 31 - Not a bad performance given the infancy of the program, but it's still a Pioneer League loss.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#10) Liberty 13, Southern Illinois 34 - A tough game to win, especially after the hype & effort against Montana, but it must concern the Flames that they lost convincingly & that they're averaging just 120 rushing ypg thus far.

Tomorrow: Non-Playoff Folks…

Meh. I agree. But from what I read in the Sun today, Victor and the #2 RB went down in the 12t and 2nd quarter. Our LT got rolled up on and broke his leg. The #3 and 4 RBs were already injured and didn't make the trip. So Frazier and the FB were the running game for 2 1/2 quarters. No wonder the ground game shit the bed.

Yeah, when someone on the JMU board mentioned TU being schizophrentic (playing ECU tough then losing to Elon) I mentioned this:

  Worst Performance: Columbia 16, Georgetown 24 - The Lions lose to Georgetown for the first time, though what's more surprising is that this was only their third ever meeting.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Penn 24, (#5) Villanova 13 - Penn ends a 14-game losing streak against Villanova and beats them for the first time since 1911.

  Best Performance: (none)
  
  Worst Performance: East Tennessee St. 24, (DIII) Emory & Henry 27 - There are still two non-DI opponents left on ETSU's schedule, so a winless season isn't assured, but they'd better improve fast after falling to their second DIII opponent here.
  
  Most Surprising Result: East Tennessee St. 24, (DIII) Emory & Henry 27 - The Bucs blow the last realistic chance to tie their all-time series with the Wasps.
