Playoffs so far:

James Madison sat Thanksgiving weekend on a bye then promptly smothered Stony Brook in its first action, recording five interceptions on the way to a 26-7 win, before holding off a talented Weber State team that pushed them to the brink as the Dukes snuck away with a win on a last-second field goal.

South Dakota State also saw it's first action in the second round, putting away Northern Iowa in a rematch, avenging a regular-season loss to the Panthers. The Jacks then hammered New Hampshire in the quarterfinals to advance to the semis.
