Nov 9, 2002  KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Give Miami a challenge, and the Hurricanes usually come through. Dropped to second in the AP media poll and third in the BCS standings after three uninspiring victories, No. 2 Miami returned to winning easy with a 26-3 victory over Tennessee on Saturday. "We really wanted to get rolling and play our best football," Miami quarterback Ken Dorsey said. The Hurricanes (9-0) picked the perfect time for their best game of the season as Willis McGahee ran for 154 yards and a touchdown and Dorsey passed for 254 yards and another score. With No. 1 Oklahoma (8-1) losing to Texas A&M earlier Saturday, Miami and No. 3 Ohio State (11-0) - 10-6 winners over Purdue - are likely to be the top two teams in the new Bowl Championship Series standings on Monday. The final BCS standings on Dec. 8 determine which teams play in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS national championship. The Hurricanes, who matched the seventh-longest winning streak among major schools with their 31st in a row, are also likely to regain the No. 1 ranking in the AP poll after a one-week absence. "We don't care about all that BCS stuff, all we care about is repeating as national champions," said Miami tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., who caught 5 passes for 67 yards, including an 11-yarder for a third-quarter TD. "We are 31-0 since I've been here. We control our own destiny."</blockquote>
