Teams Tie in One College Poll; Miami Tops Other
Miami and Washington finished in a dead heat Sunday for the No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press poll, the first tie in the rankings in 51 years.
After improving to 6-0 with victories Saturday, Miami and Washington each received 1,517 points from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Miami got one more first-place vote than Washington (31-30), but the Hurricanes were third on two ballots compared to one third-place vote for the Huskies.
Last week, Washington edged Miami by one point, with both schools receiving 30 1/2 first-place votes.
While the teams are tied in the AP poll, Miami continued to hold a one-point lead in the USA Today-CNN coaches’ survey.
The last tie for first in the AP poll was Oct. 27, 1941, between Minnesota and Texas.
USC (3-1-1) is No. 15 in the AP poll and No. 18 in the CNN/USA Today poll.
