Week 14 Movers

The holidays are quickly approaching, which means two things: time to veg and watch movies -- and college football bowl games. So, like peanut butter and chocolate, what if you could combine both? If you're like us -- and hey, who isn't, right? -- football movies and bowl games are the perfect way to waste a few days. Put down Aunt Minnie's fruit cake; this is the dessert after a season of hard knocks:

Rank School Points Record Comment
1

Alabama

Shop
5884.38 12-1 “Any Given Sunday” – which is where you'll see most of the Saban-coached Bama players.
2

Florida St.

Shop
5832.49 11-2 “The Best of Times” – ACC champs, a BCS berth … the sun in shining again in Tallahassee.
3

Oregon

Shop
5172.81 11-1 “Leatherheads” – a throwback faux-leather helmet is the only thing the Ducks haven't worn.
4

Notre Dame

Shop
4904.68 12-0 “Heaven Can Wait” – in the meantime, the Fighting Irish have a date with destiny.
5

Oklahoma

Shop
3844.97 10-2 “The Last Boy Scout” – we're going to miss the always-under-the-radar Landry Jones.
6

Georgia

Shop
3829.23 11-2 “Quarterback Princess” – like the movie, the Dawgs’ QB took a licking and kept on ticking.
7

Texas A&M

Shop
3778.05 10-2 “The Junction Boys” – too easy. It's “Johnny Be Good”. In the sequel, Johnny's very good.
8

Clemson

Shop
3634.26 10-2 “All the Right Moves” – yes, Dabo Swinney is making them (maybe more so, Tajh Boyd is).
9

Ohio St.

Shop
3240.68 12-0 “The Blind Side” – undefeated, yet no one will see these Buckeyes during bowl season.
10

Nebraska

Shop
3159.15 10-3 “Paper Lion” – only on paper were the Huskers on par with Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game.
11

LSU

Shop
3061.76 10-2 “Everybody's All-American” – it’s eerie how life imitates art, where BMOC falls on hard times.
12

Oregon St.

Shop
2985.37 9-3 “The Longest Yard” – taking the final steps to overtake in-state Ducks proving to be tough.
13

Kansas St.

Shop
2977.90 11-1 “The Game Plan” – KSU-Oregon for all the marbles was the game plan. It sank like a Rock.
14

Oklahoma St.

Shop
2858.80 7-5 “Varsity Blues” – Will the Pokes win their bowl game to avoid three consecutive losses?
15

Florida

Shop
2822.81 11-1 “Invincible” – that’s how the Gators feel right now, even if they’re third in the BCS standings.

The NCAA.com Power Rankings are based solely on team statistics. The formula includes current stats for both offense and defense, taking into account teams’ ability to produce positive results on both ends of the field. A strength-of-schedule factor is also included to reward teams that play more BCS opponents, and gives a disadvantage to teams that play a high number of non-BCS and FCS teams. The same SOS factor carries across the whole season for a team, meaning the weekly shift in ranking is accounted for completely by that week’s statistics.
