  11/04/26 - Malachi Toney, So/2029, Miami, 5-10, 193 (DS#1 WR) + More +

  Malachi Toney, the star receiver for top-ranked Miami and a Heisman Trophy candidate, has been scheduled for surgery to address a high ankle sprain and will be sidelined for multiple weeks, a person with knowledge of the matter said Wednesday night. The initial timeline for Toney's recovery won't be known until after the surgery, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the player nor the school revealed those details publicly. It is a huge blow to the Hurricanes (8-0, No. 1 College Football Playoff), who play a showdown game at No. 4 Notre Dame (7-1, No. 11 CFP) on Saturday - and now will do so without one of the nation's most dynamic players.

The injury is believed to be a high ankle sprain, and it's not uncommon for athletes with that issue to undergo surgery in an effort to speed the timeline of healing. Recovery periods vary widely, but it would seem very possible that Toney could return at some point this season. Earlier Wednesday, the Hurricanes confirmed that Toney suffered an ankle injury in practice that morning. In a statement, Miami's athletic department said Toney was "undergoing further evaluation by the team's medical staff," adding that it will share further updates as appropriate. Toney has dealt with ankle issues at times this season without missing any games - until now. The Hurricanes don't have a bye week for the rest of the regular season; they play Notre Dame this week, then finish with home games against Duke (Nov. 14), Virginia Tech (Nov. 21) and Boston College (Nov. 28). If Miami makes the Atlantic Coast Conference title game - the Hurricanes would have to lose at least two of their final three league contests to not qualify - it would play again Dec. 5. The national playoff starts on Dec. 18; if the Hurricanes earn a top-four seed in that event it wouldn't begin CFP play until Dec. 30 at the earliest. - AP College Football

  It's been a confusing college football season so far. Nobody felt that more deeply than the College Football Playoff selection committee, which raised eyebrows aplenty in its first attempt of the season to make sense of it all. Undefeated Miami received top billing in the committee's opening crack at the CFP rankings Tuesday, followed by Georgia (7-1) and undefeated Utah. From there, the 13 people in that room could have been picking from a hat. Defending champion Indiana (8-1) was ranked fourth - eight spots ahead of Ohio State (6-2), which beat the Hoosiers 19-15 last month but has since lost quarterback Julian Sayin (to say nothing of another game).

At No. 5 was Alabama (6-2) - eight spots ahead of Tennessee (6-2), even though the Tide is only a few weeks removed from a 16-point loss to the Vols. At No. 6 was Kentucky (7-1), followed by Texas (6-2). UCLA, the nation's only other undefeated team, was ranked eighth. Oh, and Notre Dame. The Irish (7-1) were ranked 11th - seven spots lower than their spot in the AP Top 25 - and that ranking brought with it a simple message: As the last team that would make the bracket if the playoffs started today, they need to beat Miami on Saturday or risk slipping due to a schedule that clearly did not impress the committee. - AP College Football

  OCT 26 WEEK 8 ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Malachi Toney, Miami,...The second-year star is player of the week for the second time this season after totaling 194 yards and three touchdowns on a program-record 16 catches in a 52-23 rout of Pittsburgh. He broke the record of 13 that he set against Pitt last year. Toney has had more than 100 yards receiving in five of seven games.

His 175 catches are most in the Bowl Subdivision since the start of last season and put him second on the Miami career list behind Xavier Restrepo's 200 from 2021-24. AP College Football

  No. 1 Miami was the only team to hold its spot in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday and idle Ohio State moved up to No. 2 as the poll went through another major reordering in the wake of BYU's loss at UCF and subsequent six-spot fall to No. 8. A week after five of the top seven teams lost, three more top-10 teams went down Saturday to make it 10 in the last three weeks. Three teams ranked either No. 1 or 2 have lost to an unranked opponent over that span in what is shaping up to be the most topsy-turvy season since 2007. Miami, Utah and UCLA are the only remaining unbeaten Bowl Subdivision teams, the fewest at this point in a season since there were three left in 1977, according to Sportradar.

Georgia moved up a spot to No. 3 after its open date, Indiana jumped two rungs to No. 4 after winning at Michigan in overtime and Notre Dame slipped a spot to No. 5 after being idle. Utah, UCLA, BYU, Kentucky and Alabama rounded out the top 10. Miami routed Pitt 52-23 at home in its first game as the No. 1 team since 2002. The Hurricanes received 59 of the 70 first-place votes from the media voting panel, 19 more than a week ago. Ohio State got 10 first-place votes and Utah got one. No. 6 Utah, which took sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference with its win over Houston, has its highest ranking in seven years and No. 7 UCLA has its highest in 11. No. 9 Kentucky has won six in a row and is in the top 10 for the first time since 2022. No. 10 Alabama avoided its first three-game losing streak since 2007 by beating Texas A&M and returned to the top 10. - AP College Football

  Miami is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2002, No. 2 BYU has its highest ranking since its 1984 national championship season and Notre Dame and Georgia stayed in the top five Sunday after both lost close games. The wildest and wackiest week of the college football season so far saw five of the top seven teams lose - a first in the AP poll's 90-year history. Miami and BYU were the biggest beneficiaries of the chaos and were joined by Ohio State in a tightly bunched top three. The Hurricanes took over the top spot from Georgia, which lasted one week at No. 1 after losing to Auburn at home. The Bulldogs were the second No. 1 team in two weeks - Texas was the other - to lose to an unranked opponent.

Miami survived end-of-game drama to beat rival Florida State in double overtime and stay unbeaten. The Hurricanes' two-spot jump made them No. 1 for the first time since the 2002 season ended in the national championship game against Ohio State. The Hurricanes received 40 of the 70 first-place votes from the media voting panel and were just 22 points ahead of BYU, which won a thriller at home over Notre Dame. The Cougars got 20 first-place votes and were 26 points ahead of Ohio State. The Buckeyes got nine first-place votes and were well ahead of No. 4 Notre Dame and No. 5 Georgia. Miami is the first No. 1 team from the Atlantic Coast Conference team since Clemson in 2020. Other than Clemson, there had not been another ACC team ranked No. 1 since Florida State in 2014. - AP College Football

  Miami's Darian Mensah is out to the best three-game start in terms of passing accuracy since at least 2000, according to Sportradar. He has completed 89.9% of his attempts (71 of 79) and is ahead of pace to break the Bowl Subdivision season record of 77.4% by Oregon's Bo Nix in 2023. Nix was at 84% through three games that year. - AP College Football
