SWAC championship race: Bethune-Cookman makes a statement with a win over Alabama State, Jackson State survives a tough challenge from Alabama A&M, Prairie View A&M looks to rebound after a stunning loss to Mississippi Valley State, and Alcorn State, Grambling State, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff are lighting up scoreboards.
