ida State has held the No. 1 ranking 72 times, tied for sixth most all time with Nebraska. Miami has occupied the top spot 67 ti Antworten

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Malik Carney hopped up and down in the middle of the North Carolina locker room, joyous teammates bouncing off him in the postgame celebration .With good reason -- since he thwarted any hope Miami had at a comeback.Carney knocked the ball out of quarterback Brad Kaayas hand to snuff out the final Miami possession, and North Carolina ran out the clock to beat the 16th-ranked Hurricanes 20-13 on Saturday and move into first place in the Atlantic Coast Conferences Coastal Division.It was now or never, Carney said. The defense had to step up.Carney got past Miami left tackle Trevor Darling, hit Kaaya from behind to force the turnover and Elijah Hoods 13-yard run for a first down with 1:02 left sealed it for the Tar Heels (5-2, 3-1). Mitch Trubisky threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns for North Carolina, while Bug Howard had 10 catches for 156 yards for North Carolina.Its a huge bounce-back game for us, coming down on the road against a very good opponent, said Trubisky, whose team was embarrassed by Virginia Tech 34-3 last weekend while Hurricane Matthew poured down.Mark Walton rushed for 82 yards and Joe Yearby ran for 74 more and a touchdown for Miami (4-2, 1-2), which has now dropped two straight by a total of eight points. The Hurricanes lost to Florida State 20-19 last week.We need all 11 guys doing the right thing, said Kaaya, who completed 16 of 31 passes for 224 yards. It starts with me.Kaaya was asked if his shoulder, which limited him in practice this week, was bothering him.No. No. No, Kaaya said.North Carolina converted 14 of its 23 third-down opportunities.I thought that was decisive, Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said.North Carolina now sits atop the ACCs Coastal Division , a half-game ahead of Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh.Im pretty pleased with where this team is right now, where we sit and the job that theyve done, said North Carolina coach Larry Fedora, whose club won the Coastal last season.Miamis 2001 team -- the last to win a national title for the Hurricanes and arguably one of the best college teams ever assembled -- was honored at halftime, with coach Larry Coker running out of the traditional smoke first and followed by players who trotted from one of the end zones.They got some cheers, though considering they took the field with Miami down 20-3, the reception was muted.There werent any adjustments in the second half, Miami safety Rayshawn Jenkins said. We had to come out and play the best football of our lives to have a chance to win.It was 10-0 North Carolina after one quarter after a touchdown catch by Austin Proehl, and Ryan Switzer made it 20-3 when he hauled in a 1-yard pass with 18 seconds left before halftime. Miamis defense didnt allow a point in the second half, highlighted by stopping the Heels on the Hurricane 1 to open the fourth quarter.It may not seem like it by our record, Miami coach Mark Richt said, but I do think were making progress.THE TAKEAWAYNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels were flagged for false starts seven times. ... Switzer had a very strange stat line: 9 catches, 17 yards. But it was a historic line. The nine catches made him North Carolinas record-holder for career receptions with 206, passing Quinshad Davis.Miami: Injuries are now a huge problem for Miami, which wasnt particularly deep to start the season. Defensive linemen Chad Thomas and Demetrius Jackson were knocked out of the game with injuries, and linebacker Michael Pinckey was shaken up twice -- but returned both times. The Hurricanes defense was so depleted that some players not even on the two-deep saw action in the second half.POLL IMPLICATIONSIts hard to envision Miami remaining in the AP Top 25 after two straight losses, meaning the Hurricanes would go from No. 10 to unranked in two weeks -- the first time since 1968 that the program would go from top 10 to out so rapidly. North Carolina is likely to return to the poll for the second time this month and third time this season.UP NEXTNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels resume their Coastal stretch, going to Virginia next Saturday.Miami: The Hurricanes play at Virginia Tech on Thursday night. Nike Vapormax Uk . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Nike Vapormax Uk Sale . Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the age of 17. She most recently played for Sky Blue FC of the National Womens Soccer League. "It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. http://www.wholesalevapormaxuk.com/ .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Vapormax Sale . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Cheap Nike Vapormax Uk .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win. To celebrate the 80th birthday of the AP College Football Poll, the AP has taken a look back at its rankings history. A very long look.The AP released its all-time top 25 -- actually, its top 100 teams -- using a formula that awarded points for poll appearances, No. 1 rankings and AP national titles dating to the polls inception in 1936. The top 10 teams yielded few surprises, as Ohio State?topped the chart, followed by Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, USC, Nebraska, Michigan, Texas, Florida State?and Florida.But there were some superlatives and oddities to be found throughout the rest of the list:1. Decades of dominance for Wolverines, Seminoles and CornhuskersAnyone who has followed college football for more than 20 years isnt surprised to see Nebraska, Michigan and Florida State in the all-time top 10. But all three teams have a unique distinction: being ranked in the AP poll for an entire decade.Florida State and Nebraska undoubtedly were the teams of the 1990s. Both the Seminoles and Huskers appeared in 100 percent of AP polls during the decade, and both teams claimed ?AP national titles (Florida State in 1993 and 1999; Nebraska in 1994 and 1995). Nebraska had the most dominant prolonged stretch, appearing in all but three polls between 1970 and 1999.Michigan has struggled for most of the past decade, but things were worse in the 1960s, when the Wolverines appeared in less than 27 percent of AP polls. Bo Schembechler arrived as coach and quickly elevated the program, which never left the AP rankings during the 1970s, despite not winning a national title.2. Florida schools are the modern-era poll powersThe AP poll debuted in 1936, and 12 of the all-time top 25 teams made an appearance during that inaugural season. Nine other teams received their first AP ranking within the first six years of the poll. Only three teams made their first appearance in 1950 or later, and all three come from the state of Florida.Both the University of Florida and Miami didnt enter the AP poll until 1950, and Florida State didnt enter until 1964, 12 years before Bobby Bowden arrived as coach. Despite the late arrival, Florida State has held the No. 1 ranking 72 times, tied for sixth most all time with Nebraska. Miami has occupied the top spot 67 times, making 80 percent of its poll appearances between Sept. 29, 1980 and Jan. 4, 2006.3. Not-so low points for Buckeyes, Trojans, Longhorns, IrishIts not only about producing elite teams; a common thread among top-10 teams is not falling out of the poll entirely for long stretches.Not only does Ohio State have the most No. 1 appearances (105), but the highest percentage of total appearances (77.2 percent). Even in the Buckeyes worst decade, the 1940s, they still appeared in more than half of the AP polls (55.7 percent). The 1940s also marked USCs worst decade, but the Trojans still appeared in 47.4 percent of AP polls. Texas fell off in the 1990s but appeared in 47.3 percent of the polls, and Notre Dames low point, the 2000s, still featured appearances in more than 45 percent of polls.Contrast that with Nebraska, which appeared in only 5.17 percent of polls in the 1950, or Alabama, which appeared in less than 19 percent of polls in the 1950s.4. Oklahoma lives at the topAlthough No. 2 Oklahoma trails No. 1 Ohio State by a significant margin in overall poll appearances (852-784), the Sooners have been the nations most consistently elite program in the past 65 years. Oklahoma ranks in the top five in percentage of poll appearances in five of the past six decades (1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 2000s, 2010s).The Sooners won national titles in four of those decades and recorded 27 top-five finishes, including top-five streaks during 1952 to 1958 and 1971 to 1976. Oklahoma has 393 total top-five appearances, more than any other program.5. UCLA the rankings king without a crownThe top 16 teams in the APs all-time rankings all can claim at least one national title. Georgia, NNo.dddddddddddd. 15 overall, is the only squad in the group without multiple championships.UCLA has the distinction of being the highest-ranked team (17) without a national title. The Bruins have made 521 appearances in the rankings and surged during the 1980s, appearing in 72.7 percent of polls. They occupied the top spot seven times.The Bruins have nine top-five AP finishes, including a No. 2 in 1954. But they never reached the summit.6. Other top-40 surprisesIf you asked 100 college football fans of various ages to identify the top 40 programs in terms of historical ranking, how many would name Missouri, Purdue or Minnesota?The Tigers, Boilermakers and Gophers occupy the 35th, 36th and 37th spots, respectively, on the APs all-time list. Missouri can point to four top-10 AP finishes in the 1960s, as well as two top-five appearances in the past decade. Purdue has been down for about a decade but boasts strong poll runs from 1958 to 1969 (seven top-20 finishes) and from 1997 to 2003 (five top-25 finishes).Minnesota was the original poll king -- claiming the No. 1 spot in the first AP poll in 1936. The Gophers finished No. 1 that season and followed with No. 1 finishes in 1940 and 1941. Minnesota added another national title in 1960 but has finished in the AP rankings only twice since 1962.7. Colorados glory days recalledColorado didnt make the all-time top 25, finishing just outside at No. 27 (316 points). But its still somewhat impressive the Buffaloes rank so high given their recent struggles. They have endured 10 consecutive losing seasons and havent finished a season ranked since 2002 (No. 20).The reason Colorado ranks so high overall is its impressive run between 1989 and 1996, when it finished in the top 20 each season, posting four top-five finishes in that span, including a national title in 1990.8. The Saban effectThe AP credits Alabama with 10 national titles during the poll era, the most of any program. Alabama has held the No. 1 ranking 74 times, fifth most among FBS teams. But more than half of those No. 1 rankings -- 43, to be exact -- have come during Nick Sabans nine seasons as Tide coach.According to the AP, Alabama held the No. 1 ranking only once between Nov. 3, 1980 and Oct. 26, 2008. The one time? When the Tide won the national title after the 1992 season.9. The long road to the topThe APs all-time rankings give programs like No. 18 Texas A&M, No. 20 Washington and No. 23 Pittsburgh feelings of both pride and disappointment. While its a testament to each programs place in college football history, it also provides a reminder of how long it has been since each program reached elite status.Texas A&M has been the closest in recent seasons, recording a No. 5 finish in the final poll in 2012. But the Aggies havent been No. 1 since November 1957, and last were No. 2 on Dec. 1, 1975.Pittsburgh had a remarkable run from 1976 to 1981, winning the 1976 national title and recording five finishes in the AP top eight. But the Panthers havent reached the top five during the regular season since 1982.Washington shared the 1991 national title (the AP awarded its title to Miami, and Washington topped the final coaches poll). The Huskies had 12 AP top-20 finishes between 1977 and 1997, and six top-10 finishes during 1977 to 1991. But Washington has had one or zero poll appearances in 11 of the past 12 seasons.10. One-time rankings regularsThe APs all-time rankings illustrate how much college football has changed during the past 80 years. While new-age powers like Oregon (No. 28, 293 poll appearances) and Boise State (No. 61, 127 appearances) are represented, so are bygones like Santa Clara (No. 77, 43 appearances), Holy Cross (No. 85, 39 appearances), Duquesne (No. 97, 20 appearances) and, everyones favorite, Iowa Pre-Flight (No. 98, 18 appearances).
