  Best Performance: Drake 41, Marist 17 - Ian Corwin throws for 255 yards and 4 touchdowns to help the Bulldogs move to 8-0 all-time versus Marist.
  
  Worst Performance: Valparaiso 13, (DII) U. Charleston 19 - The Crusaders put up just 121 yards and finish winless against non-DI opponents.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Marist 17, Drake 41 - The Red Foxes scored 26 points in their win over Stetson, but they've scored just 27 total points in their 3 losses.

Tomorrow: the rest of the playoff conferences.

After scoring only 44 points total in their first three games (with 38 of those coming against a DII team), and not scoring a touchdown in two games, Idaho State scored 41 points in the first half alone against Portland State. That to me is pretty surprising.
