Indiana, one of four undefeated teams left in 4th place Miami Falls

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – While Indiana is currently embroiled in a Big Ten battle with Michigan at Memorial Stadium, the No. 8 Hoosiers received some good news elsewhere in the college football world.

Previously undefeated Miami, ranked fourth in college football, lost 28-23 at Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon in an Atlantic Coast Conference game in Atlanta.

Georgia Tech finished the first half and started the second half with touchdowns scored by Malik Rutherford (Haynes King 5-yard touchdown) and Chase Lane (Aaron Philo 8-yard touchdown) that put the Yellow Jackets to lead 21-10. Miami scored two subsequent touchdowns, but could not erase the deficit as Georgia Tech held the Hurricanes at bay to earn the upset.

With the Hurricanes’ loss, Indiana is one of four undefeated teams at the FBS level. Oregon, BYU and Army are the other three.

Indiana could overtake Miami if the Hoosiers can beat Michigan. The defeat is very detrimental for the Hurricanes as they lose first place in the ACC. No. 13 SMU is undefeated in ACC play and could be ranked ahead of the Hurricanes in the next set of CFP rankings.

Miami’s loss could also strengthen Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke and his Heisman Trophy chances, although Miami quarterback Cam Ward (25 of 39, 348 yards, 3 TDs) had a good showing statistical match.

Here’s a look at the remaining schedules for each undefeated team:

#1 in Oregon: Maryland at home (Saturday), at Wisconsin (November 16), Washington at home (November 30).

No. 8 Indiana: Michigan at home (Saturday), at Ohio State (Nov. 23), Purdue at home (Nov. 30).

No. 9 BYU: at Utah (Saturday), at Kansas at home (Nov. 16), at Arizona State (Nov. 23), at Houston at home (Nov. 30).

Army No. 25: at North Texas (Saturday), Notre Dame at New York (Nov. 23), UTSA at home (Nov. 30), Navy at Landover, Maryland (Dec. 14).
