(STATS) -- Sam Houston States six sacks allowed this season are tied for the
sixth-lowest total among FCS teams.

selection committee delivered a sack against the unbeaten Bearkats thats more
important than any on the field.The committee lowered the No. 1 team in the
STATS FCS Top 25 three spots to No. 5 in their second of three sets of Top 10
rankings preceding its announcement of the 24-team pairings on Nov.
20.Jacksonville State (8-1) had the top spot for the second straight week,
followed by Eastern Washington (8-1), five-time defending FCS champion North
Dakota State (8-1) and James Madison (8-1), which moved up one spot each. After
Sam Houston, The Citadel (9-0) was sixth, followed by Chattanooga (8-1),
Richmond (7-2), Central Arkansas (8-1) and North Dakota (8-2).Sam Houston (9-0)
hasnt trailed in a game this season, but coach K.C. Keelers squad has fallen
behind in the selection committee rankings. The top two seeded teams in the
playoffs are guaranteed home games through the semifinals, whose winners will
advance to the FCS championship game Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.Second in the
committee rankings last week, the Bearkats fall to No. 5 ironically comes after
one of their bigger wins of the season, 56-43 over rival McNeese (5-5).While Sam
Houstons 89th ranking in the NCAAs toughest schedule report would be cause for a
drop with the committee, it doesnt compute with Jacksonville States 101st-ranked
schedule based on cumulative opposition (the winning percentage of past and
future opponents). The Gamecocks, last years FCS runners-up, are coming off a
less impressive win than Sam Houston -- 17-10 over Southeast Missouri
(3-6).Should the teams in front of Sam Houston continue to win this weekend, the
Bearkats may not gain with the committee because they play a 1-8 Northwestern
State squad. However, their final regular-season game on Nov. 19 could leave a
lasting impression as they will host Central Arkansas in a likely
pseudo-Southland Conference championship game. Both teams are 7-0 in conference
play.The playoffs consist of 10 conference champions which receive automatic
bids and 14 at-large selections. Eight teams will be seeded and receive
first-round byes, and 16 open play in the first round on Nov. 26.The selection
committee will release one more set of rankings on Tuesday during the
Championship Drive: Power Hour, beginning at 10 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to
Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of
the defence alongside Gerard Pique.

Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then
raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after
a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim
Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. Boris Becker has suggested that?Novak
Djokovic?needs to rediscover his old work ethic to reclaim the No. 1 ranking
from Andy Murray.Djokovic confirmed Tuesday night he had split with Becker, his
coach, after a three-year spell that yielded six major titles.He didnt spend as
much time on the practice court in the last six months as he should have, and he
knows that, the German told Sky News. Success like this doesnt happen by pushing
a button. Success like this doesnt just happen by showing up at a tournament.
You have to work your bottom off because the opposition does the same.He
[Djokovic] has got to go back to work. He has to go back to the office and
practice these hours and refocus on what made him strong in the first
place.Djokovic made a change to his coaching team, which also includes Slovakian
Marian Vajda, at the back end of the 2016 season with Spanish spiritual guru
Pepe Imaz brought on as an advisor for the Paris Masters and World Tour Finals
in London.Becker had hinted in interviews with British newspapers Sunday that he
was set to part company with the Serb but had refused to respond to questions
regarding any tensions in the camp.It was mutual. A decision like this does not
happen overnight. It is a progress, he told Sky News. I think the last six
months have been challenging on many levels. Our hands were tied a little bit
because we couldnt do the work we wanted to do.Djokovic has previously admitted
to losing some of his motivation after completing the career Grand Slam in June
when he won the French Open, and he said in an official statement Tuesday he was
ready to set new goals without Becker.Having dominated the first six months of
2016, with titles at Doha, the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and
Roland Garros, the 29-year-old saw a rankings lead of more than 8,000 pointts
overturned by Murray.

12-time major winner went out in the third round at Wimbledon and the first
round of the Olympics and lost in the US Open final, having admitted in New York
his slump was down to personal problems as well as injury issues.I dont know if
he had any personal problems, based on what I know, Becker said. He is happily
married. He has got a beautiful son. But the profession of a tennis player is
probably the most selfish one in sports because it has to be about you, and he
is the first to say he is a family man, so of course his wife and the rest of
his family had to take back seats.That cant be forever, and I think that is what
he meant. I dont think there were problems. I have met his wife -- she is lovely
and very, very supportive of her husband. But they dont spend enough time
together. I had it, too, 20 years ago. It is just the nature of the beast, being
a tennis player.Beaten by Murray in a winner-takes-all showdown for the year-end
No. 1 spot and the World Tour Finals title, Djokovic faces a tough task to
dislodge the Scot at the top of the rankings given the sheer number of points he
will have to defend in the first half of the 2017 season.I am sure the fact that
he lost the No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray is going to hurt, Becker said, though.
I know the US Open loss in the final against Stan [Wawrinka] hurt. I think that
is what he needed maybe in a funny way was to lose a little bit, to realise what
it is like to lose, because he hasnt been losing for two and a half years.Im
convinced -- and I am his No. 1 fan for next year -- that he will come back and
regain that No. 1 position and regain being the most dominant player in his
sport. ' ' '
