Miami Ranked No. 2/2 for Second Straight Week

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Following a 44-28 win over Virginia to remain undefeated and improve their record to 10-0, the Miami Hurricanes were ranked No. 2 in both the Associated Press poll and Amway Coaches Poll released Sunday.
 
The rankings marked the second straight week Miami was voted the No. 2 team in both polls.
 
Last week, Miami (10-0, 7-0 ACC) climbed five spots from No. 7 to No. 2 in the AP rankings, matching its highest poll position since the Oct. 26, 2003 AP poll (also No. 2). The Hurricanes climbed four spots from No. 6 to No. 2 in last week’s Amway Coaches Poll, their highest since the same Oct. 26, 2003 poll (No. 2).
 
The Hurricanes, who are ranked in the top 10 of both polls for the sixth straight week, entered the season ranked in both preseason polls for the first time since 2010.
 
In their two seasons under the direction of head coach Mark Richt, the Hurricanes have been ranked in the top 10 of both polls in both seasons; in Week 6 of 2016, Miami was ranked No. 10 in both the Associated Press poll and Amway Coaches Poll.
 
Miami closes its regular season with a matchup at Pittsburgh (4-7, 2-5 ACC) on Fri., Nov. 24. Kickoff for the contest is set for noon on ABC from Heinz Field.
