Hurricanes Climb in Top 25 Polls

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — After a dominant 42-14 win over Wake Forest, the Miami Hurricanes rose in both major college football polls released Sunday.

Miami jumped three spots to No. 8 in the Associated Press Top 25.

In the US LBM Coaches Poll, the Hurricanes moved up to seventh after checking in at No. 10 a week ago.

Miami was seeded third and listed eighth in the latest College Football Playoff Rankings unveiled last week.

The Hurricanes (10-1) are off to their best start in seven years and remain the top-ranked program in the Atlantic Coast Conference, joined in the polls by No. 9/9 SMU and No. 12/12 Clemson.

Miami wraps up its regular season slate against Syracuse at the JMA Wireless Dome on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. on ESPN.
