Miami takes
BCS poll by
(AP) Miami finally moved atop the Bowl
Championship Series standings — by the slimmest
of margins.
The defending national champion Hurricanes
squeaked past Ohio State, which needed overtime
to beat Illinois 23-16 Saturday, in the latest stand
ings released Monday. They edged the Buckeyes by
0.01 points, and the top two BCS teams have never
been closer.
Miami, No. 1 in the AP media and coaches’
polls, has 3.69 points to top the standings for the
first time this season, while Ohio State has 3.70
points. Washington State is third with 9.11 points.
The tight margin will be meaningless if Ohio
State (12-0) and Miami (9-0) — the only unbeaten
teams remaining — win the rest of their games. The
top two teams in the final BCS standings released
Dec. 8 will play in the national title game at the
Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., on Jan. 3.
“The BCS really hasn’t entered my mind,”
Miami coach Larry Coker said. “I don’t think it’s
entered the minds of our players much. It’s one of
those things that’s totally out of our control.”
The Buckeyes’ close win over Illinois was part
ly to blame for their drop. Ohio State lost the No. 1
spot in The New York Times computer poll to
Miami this week, increasing its computer-rank
average to 1.50 while the Hurricanes’ was lowered
to 1.33. That ranking is an average of seven differ
ent computer polls.
Miami, which did not play Saturday, also picked
up points when its strength of schedule went from
1.60 to 1.36 this week. Ohio State, which has a
composite total of 4.50, is so close to Miami
because of a 0.8-point quality-win deduction for a
victory over BCS No. 3 Washington State earlier
this season.
Ohio State plays its regular-season finale against
No. 12 Michigan (9-2) at home Saturday. Miami,
which has won 31 straight games, hosts No. 17
Pittsburgh (8-2) on Thursday, then plays at
Syracuse (4-7) and home against No. 13 Virginia
Tech (8-2) on Dec. 7 to close out the season.
The Buckeyes are not concerned with the latest
BCS standings.
“I don’t care. It doesn’t matter,” said Ohio State
free safety Donnie Nickey. “If we’re 1 or 2, we’re
in the game. Let’s do it.”

Who’s going to the Fiesta?
The Bowl Championship Series standings
Weekly standings which will determine the teams that will play in
the BCS National Championship Game at the Fiesta Bowl.
SOURCE: The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Inc. AP
The BCS formula uses the AP media and coach
es’ polls, computer polls, strength of schedule,
wbn-loss record and a bonus-point system.
Miami has 3.69 points — 1 for poll average,
1.33 for computer-rank average, 1.36 for strength of
schedule, zero for losses and no bonus-point deduc
tion.
Ohio State has 3.70 points — 2 for poll average,
1.50 for computer-rank average, 1.00 for strength of
schedule and a 0.8 bonus-point deduction.
Washington State would be the biggest benefi
ciary if Ohio State or Miami slips up. Also hoping
for help are No. 4 Oklahoma (10.75) and No. 5
Georgia (12.16). Notre Dame moved up one spot to
No. 6, putting it in position for a BCS bowl game.
The Fighting Irish (9-1) are guaranteed a spot if
they finish in the top six of the final BCS standings.
The Fighting Irish are not in a conference and play
Rutgers on Saturday before ending the season at
BCS No. 8 Southern California (8-2).
Oklahoma and Georgia received a 0.2 bonus-
point deduction for beating Alabama even though
the Crimson Tide are not listed in the standings.
Preliminary BCS standings have the Crimson Tide
at No. 9, but because of NCAA probation they can
not be included.
Without Alabama, Michigan is No. 9 and Texas
is No. 10. The Longhorns dropped five spots after
losing to Texas Tech 42-38 Saturday. Oklahoma
also received a 0.1 deduction for beating Texas.
Emmitt Smith’s future with
Dallas Cowboys in question
SMITH
IRVING, Texas (AP) —
Emmitt Smith knew his role with
the Dallas Cowboys would
change after he became the NFL
career rushing
leader. He just
didn’t expect it
to get cut so
much, so fast.
Two games
after breaking
Walter
Payton’s
record. Smith
had just eight
carries for 22 yards in a 20-3 loss
Sunday at Indianapolis. It was
his lowest total since a blowout
loss in the 2000 opener, when he
ran only seven times.
The reason Smith didn’t get
the ball much was because the
Cowboys wanted to get a look at
backup Troy Hambrick.
Hambrick carried the ball
seven times for 42 yards rushing.
Smith said Monday that
coach Dave Campo never told
him the change was going to be
this drastic.
“They didn’t make that clear
at all. I’m very disappointed by
that,” Smith said Monday. “They
have one expectation and I have
a different one, and obviously
their expectation is much greater
than mine.
“I do deserve to be communi
cated to in a proper manner. I
think I earned that much where
they can just communicate to me
to what degree that they want to
go.”
Smith is expected to remain
the starter the final six games, but
the Cowboys (3-7) have to deter
mine if Hambrick could be their
featured back when Smith is
gone. The first major step toward
that was taken Sunday.
“It probably wasn’t specifi
cally said, ‘You are going to get
this many carries, he’s going to
get this many carries.’ It’s a
course-of-the-game type of
thing,” Campo said. “I can see
where Emmitt might have gotten
the feel that he was not told
exactly how things were going to
go.”
The Smith-to-Hambrick tran
sition is a sensitive situation for
the Cowboys, who built their
entire marketing plan around
Smith’s pursuit of the record.
Smith passed Payton with 109
yards on 24 carries in Dallas’ last
home game, Oct. 27, in a 17-14
loss to Seattle.
With Smith unlikely to return
under his current contract — he’s
due a base salary of at least $7
million next year, when he will
be 34 and in his 14th NFL season
— the Cowboys have to evaluate
Hambrick.
Smith and Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones refuse to talk about
what is going to happen after the
season.
Hambrick, who has never
been shy about his desire to play
more and take over for Smith,
says he deserves a chance.
“I have always admired
Emmitt and his will and the
things he’s done over his career,”
Hambrick said Monday. “I just
feel like it comes a time, it’s not
my call to say when it’s time, but
I’m a guy that wants to get my
career off the ground and estab
lish myself as a household
name.”
During training camp,
Hambrick said he was the best
running back in the organization,
then he stayed relatively quiet
during Smith’s run to the record.
“That’s been hard, but I bit
my tongue,” Hambrick said.
“I’m now ready to do a little bit
myself. Y’all know I love
Emmitt. I love him to death. I
believe there is a time and place
for everybody.”
Last week, in a radio inter
view broadcast during Sunday’s
game, Hambrick hinted that
Smith had nothing else to accom
plish and could only tarnish his
image by continuing to play.
Smith, who has won four
rushing titles, three Super Bowls
and MVPs for a regular season
and a Super Bowl, said he isn’t
worried about hurting his legacy
because he believes he can still
produce. He has 617 yards rush
ing this season, and 16,804 for
his career. He’s trying to extend
his record of 11 straight 1,000-
yard seasons.
