Best Performance: Mississippi Valley St. 24, Prairie View A&M 19 - Caleb Johnson carries the ball 40(!) times for 193 yards and 2 touchdowns to help the Delta Devils finish with their best record since 2012.
Worst Performance: Southern 26, Grambling 29 - The Jags allow 500 yards to a Grambling team that hadn't even cracked 300 yards in any game this season.
Most Surprising Result: Prairie View A&M 19, Mississippi Valley St. 24 - The Panthers had already clinched the SWAC-West, of course, but going into the SWAC title game with 2 straight losses (3 if you count Texas A&M) isn't ideal.
