Miami enters top five of AP poll for first time in seven years

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes checked in at No. 5 in both major college football rankings released Sunday.

Miami moved up one spot in the AP Poll, cracking the top five for the first time since Nov. 19, 2017.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes held steady in the US LBM Coaches Poll, following their 36-14 win over rival Florida State on Saturday.

Miami (8-0, 4-0 ACC) is off to its best start in seven years and boasts its highest ranking since that 2017 campaign.

The Hurricanes are one of four ACC programs to appear in the polls, joined alongside No. 11/8 Clemson, No. 18/17 Pitt and No. 20/20 SMU.

Up next, Miami welcomes Duke to Hard Rock Stadium on Nov. 2. Kickoff is slated for noon on ABC.
