Best Performance: (#11) Weber St. 23, (FBS) Colorado St. 24 - After losing the play-up game they were supposed to win, the Wildcats got within a fumbled snap inside the 10 of winning the FBS game they were supposed to lose.

Let's not be ridiculous....Henderson St has a respectable defense....

Best Performance: (#9) New Hampshire 23, (FBS) Ball St. 16 - A week after struggling with a bad team, the Wildcats hold the defending (albeit depleted) MAC-West champs to just 127 yards.

Most Surprising Result: (#7) James Madison 35, (FBS) Maryland 38 (OT) - Whaddya know? The Dukes actually showed up in a winnable FBS game.

Worst Performance: Norfolk St. 13, North Carolina A&T 17 - The Spartans' impressive 2007 run seems like a lifetime ago.
Most Surprising Result: Morgan St. 0, (FBS) Akron 41 - The shutout doesn't surprise me but I figured the capable Bear defense would at least do its job.
Best Performance: Samford 27, Jacksonville 0 - The Bulldogs outgain the Pioneer League favorites 411-101.
Worst Performance: Western Carolina 20, Gardner-Webb 27 - 3 turnovers & a late Bulldog score cost the Catamounts a chance at a solid win.

It's a great win for New Hampshire, but I don't think Ball State is the defending MAC champ. Otherwise, nice write-up.

Yeah, you're right. I forgot about that. They started 12-0 and then got upset by Buffalo in the MAC title game.
