Is scoring defense not points allowed per game? ESPN may have their stats wrong but they said Bama has the #1 scoring defense. The 0'fer that MSU put up may have pushed them to the top spot.
I'm just going by ESPN.com's stats. It would be odd of them not to have updated them.
Edit: Well, it looks like ESPN.com didn't update their numbers...well done people whose job that is.
According the the NCAA.com, Alabama did jump up to #1 in average points allowed per game but also fell to #18 in average passing yards allowed per game
Edit 2: Geez, Missouri allowed the 6th least points per game in the country?
