Week 9 Movers

If you haven't heard his name, it's Johnny "Football." Okay, it's really Johnny Manziel and he's a redshirt freshman QB at Texas A&M, but with the numbers he's put up and what the Aggies are doing in the SEC, you should get used to hearing the name. The top movers meet up this week as MSU tries to rebound. It'll be interesting.

Rank		Points	Record	Comment
1	Florida St. Shop	5,407.44	8-1	Winning on Thursday night in Blacksburg? VT may not be its usual self, but good thing FSU is off this week to prepare.
2	Alabama Shop	4,432.14	8-0	446.51 -- number of offensive yards allowed per game by Alabama and LSU combined. Show me 13 points, I'll show you the winner.
3	Oregon Shop	3,856.84	8-0	When will the Ducks' offensive starters actually get to play in the second half? Seems like last time it happened was 2004.
4	Texas Tech Shop	3,093.54	6-2	There may be purple nightmares in Lubbock for a while, but the Red Raiders are still 12th in total defense nationally.
5	Oklahoma St. Shop	3,059.08	5-2	With 586.4 total offense yards per game, you wouldn't realize OSU lost its starting QB, then it's backup and is now back to the starter.
6	Kansas St. Shop	3,031.20	8-0	Let's not talk offense like everyone else. How about the defense that shut down Texas Tech and everyone else?
7	Notre Dame Shop	2,870.21	8-0	Nice job, Te'o and Co. Going into Norman and winning like that doesn't happen often... unless you wear a golden dome.
8	LSU Shop	2,732.19	7-1	Tiger fans have said one loss isn't the end of the world. Now two, well that may feel like another story.
9	Arizona St. Shop	2,627.41	5-3	Consistency is the key and it's not been in the Sun Devils' pocket this year. A little would come in handy this weekend in Corvalis.
10	Oklahoma Shop	2,483.87	5-2	Landry Jones and Co. moved up and down the field, but couldn't get to the end zone. Still, plenty left in the tank for the finish.
11	Nebraska Shop	2,364.51	6-2	Eleven consecutive home night victories. Pretty impressive. It helps any team when Denard Robinson is off the field though.
12	Texas A&M Shop	2,290.78	6-2	On a weekend full of interesting matchups, Johnny "Football" leads A&M vs. Mississippi State. That's good afternoon fun.
13	North Carolina Shop	2,290.61	6-3	Winning a rivalry game is always exciting. In the final minute, for the first time in six years? Tar Heel-tastic.
14	Georgia Shop	2,288.32	7-1	The Dogs showed some bite on defense. LB Jarvis Jones is a stud, and now the SEC East is wide open again.
15	Clemson Shop	2,239.40	7-1	What if Sammy Watkins wasn't 3 minutes late to a meeting and played the whole game? How big would his record performance have been?
