  vs. FCS: 0-0
  Overall: 17-12
  
  
  Best Performance: (#3) Montana St. 44, Portland St. 14 - The Bobcats hold Dante Chachere, who had a 200-200 game and 6 total touchdowns last week, to just 90 yards of total offense and an INT.
  
  Worst Performance: Weber St. 48, Sacramento St. 51 (2OT) - The Wildcats are giving up 27 points-per-game so far this season. If that holds, it would be their worst points-allowed mark in 8 years.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#13) Idaho 34, Cal Poly 29 - The Vandals went on a 31-2 run to seize control of the game, but a fumble-return TD that happened while they were trying to run out the clock made things uncomfortable.

  Best Performance: (#14) Incarnate Word 30, McNeese St. 17 - Zach Calzada had his worst performance of the season (21/42, 204 yards, 1 INT), but the Cardinals still prevailed in part thanks to Devin Grant's 4 tackles-for-loss and 3 sacks.
  
  Worst Performance: Northwestern St. 0, Nicholls St. 20 - A 20-point loss was closer than expected, but the Demons' 46 yards of total offense suggest they had no vague hope of winning.

  Best Performance: (#2) North Dakota St. 13, (#1) South Dakota St. 9 - The Bison prevent SDSU from getting a single redzone trip and hand the Jackrabbits their first FCS loss in nearly 3 years.
  
  Worst Performance: Indiana St. 21, Missouri St. 46 - The Sycs lose yardage 293-67 in the second half and fall to Missouri State for the 6th. time in the last 7 meetings.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#21) Illinois St. 40, Murray St. 32 - This game was unexpectedly close, but I have a different point: after being blown out at home by Missouri State last week, why did ISU remain ranked in the STATS poll while MSU didn't even get any votes?

  Best Performance: (#17) Abilene Christian 34, Eastern Kentucky 20 - Blayne Taylor catches 10 balls for 154 yards and 2 TDs to help the Wildcats rebound.
  
  Worst Performance: Utah Tech 7, Austin Peay 13 - This was easily Utah Tech's closest loss this year and by far the fewest points they've allowed, so… baby steps, I guess?

  Worst Performance: Valparaiso 14, St. Thomas 42 - The Crusaders allow St. Thomas their season-high in points scored and their co-season-best in points allowed.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Stetson 48, Davidson 70 - It's not often you see a team throw 6 touchdown passes and lose handily.

• NConf Record: 1-3

  vs. FCS: 1-3
  Overall: 13-18

  Worst Performance: Bucknell 21, Cornell 34 - The Bison fall behind 24-0 and lose to Cornell for just the 2nd. time in their last 7 meetings.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Georgetown 28, Colgate 38 - The Hoyas' cyclical inconsistency has to be maddening for their handful of fans: 2 good games, then 2 awful performances, then 2 more good wins, then this.

  Worst Performance: North Carolina A&T 17, Hampton 59 - Was leaving the MEAC the biggest mistake in A&T history?
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#5) Villanova 7, Maine 35 - A top-10 team gives up 7 sacks, commits 4 turnovers, and scores 0 points outside of garbage time against a nondescript opponent.
