Best Performance: Norfolk St. 9, (FBS) Temple 41 - Nobody in the MEAC won or even scared anyone good this week, so I guess I'll go with the team that was still technically in contention in the second quarter against an FBS opponent.

Worst Performance: Mississippi Valley St. 7, (DII) Delta St. 35 - A blowout loss to a DII looks worse than last week's close loss to a DII, but at least this week's DII is a top-10 DII.
