The Seawolves were down by 28-10 with 13:25 left in the third quarter before rallying to win their ninth straight game. Albany was led by QB Dan Di Lella, who completed 24 of 43 for 223 yards. The Great Danes finish at 8-4 on the season, while Stony Brok (9-3) will travel to No.1-seeded Sam Houston State (11-0) this week.

Central Arkansas will now face fourth-seeded Montana on the road in the second round.

• In Norfolk, Old Dominion hosted Norfolk State in an inter-city battle between schools that are located just five miles apart.

This was ODU's first-ever playoff game in just its first year in the CAA and third year of football. The Monrachs (10-2) were down early as the Spartans scored on a 98-yard TD reception from Derrick Demps. But after that, it was all Old Dominion, which scored 35 unanswered points. The Monrachs (10-2) will play at third-seeded Georgia Southern this Saturday in the second round of the playoffs.

The Dukes (8-4) needed a 35-yard field goal as time expired to defeat the Colonels (7-5), who won six of their last seven regular-season games. JMU was down by 17-7 in the third quarter and rallied with a Cameron Starke 21-yard field goal and a 24-yard run from Jordan Anderson to tie the game.
