College football fans across the country saw more than 150 games concluded on Saturday, with final scores posted across the Northeast, South, Midwest, and Southwest regions.

The results reveal a wide gap in scoring power, where some teams dominated their opponents while others found themselves locked in tight battles that stretched into overtime.

In the Northeast, Albany defeated Campbell 45-35, marking one of the higher-scoring games on the board. Meanwhile, Brown beat Penn 36-17, and Notre Dame held Navy to just 13 points in a 35-13 victory.

Several Northeast matchups required an extra period to settle. Bloomsburg edged West Chester 22-15 in overtime, while Dickinson won 54-51 against Carnegie Mellon in a similar extension. East Stroudsburg also relied on overtime to defeat Kutztown 32-25.

The South region produced some of the most lopsided results of the day. Endicott crushed Maine Maritime 83-7, and Cortland scored 80 points against Alfred St. to win 80-7. Duke also posted a large margin, beating Boston College 47-2.

Not every Southern game was a blowout, however. Johnson C. Smith had to go to overtime to beat Virginia State 39-33. Lenoir-Rhyne narrowly defeated Emory & Henry 21-20, and W. Carolina beat Furman 27-26 in a one-point margin.

In the Midwest, Iowa shut out Wisconsin 30-0 in a decisive conference clash. Indiana fell to Minnesota 23-16 in overtime, while Iowa State edged Oklahoma State 51-49. Michigan State was not listed in the Midwest section, but Michigan Tech beat Saginaw Valley St. 27-20.

The Southwest region saw Abilene Christian shut out West Georgia 59-0, and Incarnate Word defeat Northwestern St. 66-14. South Carolina beat Oklahoma 42-25, and Missouri defeated Arkansas 34-10.

Across all four regions, 14 games required an overtime period to determine a winner. These included matches in the Northeast, South, Midwest, and Southwest, showing that close competition persisted despite the high volume of games played.

The scores reflect the current state of the season for teams ranging from power conferences to smaller division programs. Specific player statistics were not included in the posted results, which listed only final scores and team names.
