TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2002 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B Buckeyes pass Miami in rankings The Associated Press Look who's No. 2 in the new Bowl Championship Series standings. Ohio State, helped by a big quality win over Washington State earlier this year and Miami's drop in The Associated Press poll, has overtaken the Hurricanes in the standings released yesterday. The Buckeyes jumped three spots and nudged past defending champion Miami, which stayed unbeaten while posting its school-record 30th straight win Saturday, 42-17 over Rutgers. But the Hurricanes had to rally in the fourth quarter, and that cost them. Oklahoma remained No.1 while Ohio State moved into second,0.44 ahead of Miami. The top two teams in the final series standings released Dec. 8 will play in the national title game at the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe,

BCS Standings Ariz., on Jan. 3. "We are proud of what our young men have done to date," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "But we know if we don't play our best road game of the year at Purdue, we won't be No.2 next week." Ohio State has a 6.17 composi- ite total, compared to Miami's 6.01. But the Buckeyes got a 0.6 deduction for a 25-7 victory over Washington State on Sept. 14. Miami has no bonus-point deductions. The quality win deductions were added last year after Miami tailed to make the national championship game over Florida State following the 2000 season, despite beating the Seminoles earlier in the year. The Hurricanes' struggles against lowly Rutgers dropped them to No.2 in the AP media poll. If the Hurricanes had stayed No.1 in both polls, its poll average would have been 1—putting them 0.06 points ahead of the Buckeyes. "I can't be overly concerned about what the pollsters do," Miami coach Larry Coker said yesterday. "First of all, it will be easy to rate us if we don't play better. The thing we have to do is make sure we get it corrected and win the games. If we do that, the polls will take care of themselves. I know that sounds like a broken record, but I really believe it's true." Fired football coach says he had no chance The Associated Press WACO, Texas — Fired Baylor coach Kevin Steele said the shrinking timeframe he was given to turn around the program made his job virtually impossible to complete. "To turn around a program and build a program pretty much from the depths in three and a half years is difficult to do," Steele said yesterday, a day after he was fired. "I was very disappointed in the demands and the allotted timeframe." Steele will coach the final three games of his fourth season, starting Saturday at No.4 Texas. The Bears (3-6, 1-4, Big 12) then play No.1 Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Steele is 9-33 overall, and the bears have won just one of his 29 Big 12 games. Steele reportedly has at least two seasons left on his contract, but the only private school in the conference refuses to release or confirm contract details. "I'm very proud that we are leaving it better than we got it," Steele said during the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference, his first public comments since the firing. Baylor hasn't had a winning season since 1995. Athletic director Tom Stanton, who plans to begin the search for Steele's successor, was expected to undergo a minor corrective procedure in the hospital today but could be back to work by the end of the week.
