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.
