With a few surprises and some dramatic finishes, this week's DII College Gamebreakers have even more impact.

The Gateway Conference has shown itself to be pretty deep and competitive at the top end, despite some issues for some teams in getting enough players (or coaches) after the COVID shutdowns.
Still, we've got a playoff set up after this weekend's slate.
