SEATTLE - One. It's the number of weeks the Miami Hurricanes had to
share the top of TheInsiders.com Top 25 College Football Poll with
Nebraska. Now it's the measure of their razor-thin margin over the
Cornhuskers.
The 7-0 Hurricanes, 38-0 victors over Temple on Saturday, are back on
top by their lonesome, outpolling the 10-0 Cornhuskers 269 points to
268.
Meanwhile, it's raining cats and dawgs (Washington State Cougars and
Washington Huskies), and of course Ducks (Oregon), as the Pacific
Northwest continued to invade the poll's Top 10. Oregon (8-1) moved up a
notch to No. 7, as the Huskies (7-1) moved to No. 8 after knocking off
previous No. 10 Stanford and the Cougars (8-1) bounced UCLA, which last
week was ranked No. 11.
Michigan (6-2) take a tumble from No. 6 to No. 12 after a 26-24 upset
loss to rival Michigan State.
Colorado (7-2), the aforementioned Spartans (5-2) and Boston College (6-2) moved
into the rankings, while Texas A&M, Mississippi and North Carolina
dropped out.
