  Best Performance: (#2) Montana St. 31, (#3) Montana 28 - Justin Lamson completed 90% of his passes and Caden Dowler had another pick-six as the Bobcats earned the first road victory for either team in the Brawl of the Wild since 2018.
  
  Worst Performance: (#22) Northern Arizona 28, Weber St. 48 - The Lumberjacks immolate their playoff chances after allowing 48 points to a Weber squad that had scored a total of 34 points in their previous 3 games.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#22) Northern Arizona 28, Weber St. 48 - The NAU offense contributed to the team’s demise, too, as they had a season-low 53 rushing yards and just 303 yards total (2nd. lowest of the season).

  Worst Performance: Houston Christian 10, Incarnate Word 31 - The Huskies are tackled-for-loss 12 times as they finish the season 2-10, their worst mark since going winless in 2021.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#20) Lamar 19, McNeese St. 21 - The Cardinals appeared to be a bubble team coming into the week, so how exactly did they still get an at-large bid after this debacle?

  Best Performance: Southern Illinois 37, (#13) Illinois St. 7 - It apparently wasn't enough to make the playoffs, but the Salukis did pull off a stunning upset after outrushing the Redbirds 296-73; Eddie Robinson ran for 145 yards while QB DJ Williams ran for 134 yards and 4 touchdowns.
  
  Worst Performance: Indiana St. 17, Murray St. 31 - The Sycamores finish last in the Missouri Valley after allowing 232 rushing yards to Jawaun Northington, a guy whose previous season high was 81 yards against SIU.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#13) Illinois St. 7, Southern Illinois 37 - This thud of a performance didn’t quite cost the Redbirds an at-large bid, but it did cost them a home game in the first round.

  Worst Performance: Utah Tech 10, Eastern Kentucky 33 - The Trailblazers lose rushing 264-55 to a Colonel team that was last in the United in rushing yards coming in (Utah Tech ended up last).
  
  Most Surprising Result: Austin Peay 44, (#5) Tarleton St. 45 (OT) - The offense did all they could—570 yards and 6 TDs against the top defense in the UAC–but it still wasn’t quite enough in what was a must-win scenario for the Governors.

Youngstown State holds off a UNI comeback to beat the Panthers 35-32. It was their first win in Cedar Falls in 26 years.

  Best Performance: (#4) Lehigh 42, (#24) Lafayette 32 - Luke Yoder runs for 234 yards and 4 TDs on just 19 carries to outduel Kente Edwards (41 carries , 157 yards, 3 TDs) as the Mountain Hawks clinch the Patriot League title and an undefeated regular season.
  
  Worst Performance: Georgetown 7, Holy Cross 42 - With a winning season on the line, the Hoyas continued to prove they’re allergic to success as they committed 5 turnovers and gave up 3 non-offensive touchdowns to a 2-9 opponent.

  Best Performance: Yale 45, (#7) Harvard 28 - Josh Pitsenberger ran for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns while Dante Reno threw for 273 yards and 3 TDs on just 19 attempts as the Bulldogs forced a shared Ivy League title for the 5th. time in the last 6 seasons.

  Worst Performance: (#15) Monmouth 24, Albany 31 - The Hawks, who were a 31.5 point favorite, fell behind 31-3 before they began an ultimately doomed rally.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#15) Monmouth 24, Albany 31 - Despite this awful loss, it’s still surprising Monmouth didn’t get an at-large bid. I wonder if the Hawks would’ve put Derek Robertson in (dressed, but didn't play) if they’d known their season may have been on the line.

  Most Surprising Result: Gardner-Webb 24, Western Illinois 29 - The Bulldogs were a long shot to make the playoffs anyway, but this result at least allowed them to sleep in on Sunday morning.
