Three ranked teams in the West Region fell in Saturday's afternoon action, as No. 4, No. 9 and No. 13 all lost.

Concordia-Moorhead posted the first big upset of the afternoon, downing No. 4 St. John's 9-6. The Cobbers struck first and added a safety, holding off the Johnnies who went four-and-out from midfield in the final minute. (Photo gallery.) No. 13 Bethel fell at home to Carleton 17-14, as the Knights blocked a field goal with five minutes left and held on.

Wartburg took a 19-17 lead on No. 9 Central with under a minute left on a Spencer Herzberg 41-yard field goal and Blake Suckow intercepted a pass to end Central's final drive. It's Central's first IIAC loss since the 2005 opener. (Photo gallery.) Saturday's scores and game stories.

It got even crazier elsewhere in the MIAC, as St. Olaf outlasted St. Thomas 29-23 in sextuple overtime. (Note, that's six overtimes, which is the longest recorded Division III game.)

No. 19 Ithaca rolled up 547 yards and 69 points in avenging last year's loss to Hartwick 69-42. Dan Juvan needed to pass just 17 times as the Bombers got 268 yards rushing from Tom Bergerstock.

No. 20 Cortland State beat Rowan 27-20 to get an early jump in the NJAC race. No. 1 Mount Union had little trouble with No. 25 Ohio Northern, despite just 89 yards rushing from Nate Kmic. Greg Micheli went 23-for-25 passing. (Photo gallery.)

In non-conference play, No. 23 Redlands had little trouble with Whitworth in a 38-7 win. No. 6 Muhlenberg converted two first-quarter scores from early Union turnovers deep in Union territory and never looked back, winning 31-14. (Photo gallery.) Shelby Fisher ran for 109 yards and a pair of touchdowns as No. 8 Salisbury beat Christopher Newport 38-21.

UW-Oshkosh got a second chance at a game-winning field goal and made the most of it, winning 17-16 at Ohio Dominican as time expired. ODU is considered an NAIA national title contender and was ranked No. 2. No. 15 Wesley found its offense in the second half of a 41-9 win against Widener. Washington U. jumped out to a 21-0 lead and held off Wittenberg 30-27. Averett won for the first time since 2006, beating Guilford 31-24.

Sewanee intercepted Colorado College seven times in a 19-0 win. LaGrange scored 24 points in the second quarter to surprise Maryville 38-14. And Trine beat Defiance 42-14 in a game with little of national interest other than a fancy nickname provided by ESPN Radio.

Also, we welcome, finally, St. Scholastica to Division III football. The Duluth, Minn., school opened its inaugural football season at Wisconsin Lutheran and fell 36-29 after entering the fourth quarter down 36-15.
