Best Performance: (#7) Eastern Washington 34, (#16) Cal Poly 17 - The Eagles, ranked in the bottom half nationally in rushing yardage coming in, embarrass the triple-option Mustangs by outrushing them.
Worst Performance: Portland St. 28, Northern Colorado 32 - The Viks lose their second-straight home contest with UNC after blowing a 28-10 lead.
Most Surprising Result: Northern Colorado 32, Portland St. 28 - Sadly enough for the Bears, their 2-4 conference record is the best they've ever had in November since joining the Big Sky.

Best Performance: (#4) Sam Houston St. 70, Southeastern Louisiana 0 - The Bearkats run for 405 yards and 7 touchdowns in eviscerating a Southeastern Louisiana team that was actually in first place at one point.
Worst Performance: Nicholls St. 10, McNeese St. 42 - Sheesh, are the Colonels a Jim-Mora-Saints reunion special? Not only do they have Bobby Hebert's son at QB, they apparently have Dalton Hilliard, Jr., playing running back for them.
Best Performance: (#17) Illinois St. 17, (#14) Indiana St. 14 - 2 forced interceptions by the Redbirds are the entire difference in a game where the yardage totals were exactly even.
Worst Performance: Western Illinois 0, Northern Iowa 40 - The Leathernecks have been outscored 82-3 the last two weeks by teams with a combined record of 6-13.
Most Surprising Result: (#14) Indiana St. 14, (#17) Illinois St. 17 - A late-season swoon cost the Sycamores a shot at the playoffs last season. Fortunately for this year, however, their lone remaining opponent is a Youngstown team that forgot football goes past September.
Best Performance: Murray St. 49, (#18) Tennessee St. 28 - The Hatch-Attack scores 4 unanswered touchdowns to close the game in crippling TSU's conference-title hopes.
Worst Performance: (#18) Tennessee St. 28, Murray St. 49 - The Tigers haven't made the playoffs since 1999, and—just like in 2008—they may have blown a chance to end the drought.
Most Surprising Result: Murray St. 49, (#18) Tennessee St. 28 - The Racers give up less than 30 points for just the third time this season.

Best Performance: Colgate 65, Lafayette 41 - Jordan McCord's 203 yards and 4 touchdowns rushing are totally overshadowed by QB Gavin McCarney's 288 yards and 3 rushing TDs. Oh yeah, did I mention McCarney also threw for 224 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 17 attempts?
Worst Performance: Fordham 24, Bucknell 27 - Too many mistakes for the Rams: 3 turnovers, 4 sacks allowed, and 10 penalties.
Most Surprising Result: Bucknell 27, Fordham 24 - The Bison end a 7-game losing streak despite their solid defense uncharacteristically giving up 404 yards.
That 17-10 Illinois State win could have been a shutout. A penalty on a 4th down punt cost the birds the ball and INS drove and scored. Then the Trees get the onside, kick a FG and in 30 seconds they went from 0 to 10. While yardage was even, Illinois State was in complete control up to the last 30 seconds
Best Performance: Wagner 30, (#20) Albany 0 - The Seahawks outgain the prohibitive NEC favorites 413-188 in perhaps the most stunning result this season.
Worst Performance: Sacred Heart 14, Bryant 34 - The Pioneers fall to 1-3 versus the Bulldogs as NEC opponents.
Most Surprising Result: (#20) Albany 0, Wagner 30 - The Danes lose to Wagner for just the 2nd. time in 16 tries, both losses oddly coming in Albany.

Worst Performance: Western Carolina 24, Tennessee-Chattanooga 45 - The Catamounts finish winless in the SoCon for the second-straight season.

And all 4 of those losses were on the road.
That is unbelievable. If the Tribe had any consistency on offense.........

Worst Performance: Columbia 0, Harvard 69 - Not only do the Lions give up the most points they've ever given up in their series with Harvard, they get shut out too.

Best Performance: Alabama St. 35, Prairie View A&M 21 - A 6-1 turnover margin will overcome most any yardage deficit.
Worst Performance: Alcorn St. 9, Mississippi Valley St. 33 - A 17.5 yard average disadvantage on net punting & a 18.7 yard average disadvantage on net kickoffs make a big difference in a game where the stats were otherwise even.
Most Surprising Result: Alcorn St. 9, Mississippi Valley St. 33 - The Braves' 5-game winning streak over MVSU comes to an end.

I can't wait until Florida A&M meets Bethune Cookman the Rattlers should help retiring coach Taylor go out with a win over the Wildcats.If that happens my alma- mater NC Central should get its first visit to the 1-AA playoffs.
