Page 14AThe Battalion/Wednesday, November 25, 1987 Sooners back on top in AP poll; Aggies 15th From the Associated Press Oklahoma will be rooting for Mi ami to defeat Notre Dame and South Carolina in its final tw o games of the season. “We very much hope that Miami remains undefeated,” said Okla homa Athletic Director Donnie Dun can. Oklahoma will play Miami on New Year’s Day in the Orange Bowl, and if Miami manages to get by its last two opponents, the game will be for the national championship. Oklahoma, 11-0, reclaimed the No. 1 ranking from Nebraska on Tuesday after beating the Corn- huskers 17-7 in Lincoln, Neb., Satur day. Miami took over second place. Nebraska, 9-1 with one regular- season game remaining against Col orado, fell to fifth with 979 points. Miami handed the Sooners their only two setbacks in the past 35 games. Except for regular-season losses to Miami in 1985 and 1986, Oklahoma might be shooting for an unprecedented third straight na tional championship and third con secutive undefeated season. Miami beat Oklahoma 27-14 in the fourth game of the 1985 season, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Sooners, 11-1, from capturing their third national championship since Barry Switzer became head coach in 1973. Last year, the second-ranked Hurricanes defeated No. 1 Okla homa 28-16 in the season’s third game, and that time an 11-1 record wasn’t good enough. Miami and Penn State went unbeaten and played for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl, while Oklahoma had to be content with a 42-8 drubbing of Arkansas in the Orange Bowl and a No. 3 final ranking. Florida State, 9-1 and idle last weekend, advanced to third from fourth place with 1,056 points. The other first-place vote went to Syracuse, 11-0 following a 32-31 tri umph over West Virginia. The Orangemen received 983 points in moving from sixth to fourth. UCLA, No. 5 last week, lost to USC 17-13 and dropped to 11th. LSU rose from ninth to sixth with 830 points by oudasting Tulane 41- 36. Notre Dame, seventh last week, lost to Penn State 21-20 and slipped to 10th place. Meanwhile, Auburn, which was idle and plays Alabama on Friday, moved up from 10th to sev enth with 809 points. South Carolina’s 20-7 triumph over Clemson lifted the Gamecocks from 12th place to eighth with points while the Tigers fell to 13th, Michigan State defeated Wisconsin 30-9 and went from 11th to ninth with 680 points. The Second 10 consists of UCLA, Oklahoma State, Clemson, Georgia, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Southern Cal, Alabama, Iowa and Pitt.
