  Worst Performance: Murray St. 22, (#17) Southeast Missouri St. 52 - The Racers presumably knew they could safely stack the box with SEMO QB Paxton DeLaurent out, and they still allowed Geno Hess to run for 317 yards with 12.2 yards-per-carry.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#25) Tennessee-Martin 34, Eastern Illinois 31 - The Skyhawks ultimately lost the auto bid anyway, but an underwhelming performance against the 2-8 Panthers almost made an OVC coin flip unnecessary.

Tomorrow: the rest of the playoff conferences.

Not sure the Brawl didn't sweep all 3 categories in the Big Sky this week. UNC has been bad and inconsistent all season.

Montana hasn't looked that bad in....well, since the last time we got boatraced in Bozeman.

Losing to this Eastern team by 24 is still a helluva lot worse than losing to MSU by 34. Portland State's loss to awful Cal Poly was worse than UM's, too.

Relegate Presbyterian?

They're already in the Pioneer League. That's about as relegated as you can get.

True, but I meant relegate them back to D-II. They're not the only ones I want to relegate back to D-II...and there are some I'd like to relegate back to FCS (like UMASS, UCONN, and a few others).
