IowaHawkBlog's Marble Game through Week 9

Interestingly, the top 8 stayed exactly the same, even with Ohio St gaining 82 marbles in their win over Penn St.  That was the biggest single marble move of the week and dropped Penn St by 10 spots to 22nd. 

Big games coming up next week: Tennessee at Georgia (103 vs 106 marble gain potential), Clemson at ND (70 vs 107), Alabama at LSU (82 vs 77), Texas at Kansas St (84 vs 39), and Wake Forest at NC State (57 vs 51).
