Best Performance: Southeastern Louisiana 56, Abilene Christian 21 - For 5 straight weeks, the Lions have proven they can whip bad teams with regularity. Now, they finally have another chance to prove the good teams won't always whip them.

Worst Performance: Tennessee-Martin 21, Eastern Kentucky 31 - I don't think their coach is going to get fired, but UTM's season is looking very much like Holy Cross's at this point.

Best Performance: San Diego 63, Jacksonville 10 - Anthony Lawrence throws as many touchdown passes (6) as incompletions (6) as the Toreros brutally beat the Dolphins to death in their own house.
Worst Performance: Davidson 22, Dayton 48 - The Wildcats allow 4 straight touchdowns in the third quarter to turn what was a close game into an ugly one.
Most Surprising Result: Campbell 23, Butler 37 - Campbell doesn't play San Diego, so the Camels probably threw away their chance at an auto-bid here.
Best Performance: Colgate 45, Holy Cross 7 - Raider QB Grant Breneman accounts for 4 total touchdowns while his counterpart, Peter Pujals, accounts for 4 turnovers.
Worst Performance: Holy Cross 7, Colgate 45 - Firing Tom Gilmore may have been the best move in the long run, but it certainly didn't do any good in the short run.

Most Surprising Result: Sacred Heart 21, Robert Morris 14 - An odd finish: after missing a go-ahead field goal with 43 seconds left, the Pioneers win in regulation anyway thanks to a 46-yard interception-return touchdown by Khaamal Whitaker.

Most Surprising Result: Albany 10, Maine 12 - 3 straight one-score losses put the Danes in must-win territory for the rest of the season.
JMU’s win was even more lopsided than the score. Was 43-0 early 4th when JMU put the backups in. 1st 3+ Qtrs W&M was held to 122 yards of offense. Last 12+ min against JMU backs up got 176 yards and 2 TDs. W&M turned the ball over 6 times and was the 3rd straight week for JMU getting a defensive score. Was also the 3rd straight week JMU has faced multiple QBs. UD and VU each played 2, W&M played 3- in the 1st 3 quarters..
Last 3 games JMU starting defense has actually outscored the opposing offenses. Yielded only 18 points/2 TDs (10 points vs UD, 8 vs VU, 0 vs W&M) 12 turnovers/3 defensive TDs.

Best Performance: (#17) Grambling 41, Alcorn St. 14 - The Tigers force 7 turnovers and badly whip the Braves.
Worst Performance: Mississippi Valley St. - Virginia-Lynchburg has been a non-countable opponent for 3 years now. Why the hell are the Delta Devils wasting their—and everyone else's—time by playing them?
