Yahoo Sports Where the 9-0 Miami Hurricanes rank in the AP poll after win over Duke Blue Devils
The Miami Hurricanes stayed undefeated with a 53-31 win over Duke on Saturday and once again climbed up the AP top 25 poll as a result.
Miami checked in at No. 4 in the latest edition of the AP poll released on Sunday, one spot up from the No. 5 ranking the Hurricanes had last week.
The Hurricanes are a perfect 9-0 this season, including 5-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. They are one of five Football Bowl Subdivision teams that are still undefeated, along with Oregon, BYU, Indiana and Army.
The Hurricanes began the season ranked No. 19 before moving up to No. 12 after Week 1, No. 10 after Week 2, No. 8 after Week 3 and No. 7 after Week 4 before falling to No. 8 after Week 5, moving up to No. 6 after Week 6 and staying there for two weeks before being bumped up to No. 5 after Week 9.
Miami’s move up again this week came as a result of then-No. 3 Penn State’s 20-13 loss to Ohio State on Saturday. The Nittany Lions fell to No. 6 as a result.
Penn State was the highest ranked of seven teams in last week’s AP top 25 to lose last week. Then-No. 10 Clemson, T-No. 11 Clemson and Iowa State, No. 17 Kansas State, No. 18 Pittsburgh and No. 24 Illinois all lost.
The Hurricanes next travel to play Georgia Tech on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for noon and the game televised on ESPN.
