No. 2 Nebraska, who had defeated Missouri by 35 points a few weeks earlier, was idle. No. 3 Miami beat Virginia Tech 27-13, No. 4 Florida State defeated Furman 41-10, and No. 5 UCLA won 47-14 over Washington. The top two teams switched spots in the next poll: No. 1 Nebraska, No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 3 Miami, No. 4 Florida State, and No. 5 UCLA. </p><p><b>November 21:</b> In what was effectively a semifinal for the national championship, No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 Oklahoma met to decide the Big 8 title and an <a href="/wiki/1988_Orange_Bowl" title="1988 Orange Bowl">Orange Bowl</a> berth. Despite their injuries, the Sooners finished an undefeated regular season with a 17-7 victory, their fourth win in as many years over the Cornhuskers. No. 3 Miami defeated Toledo 24-14, while No. 4 Florida State was idle. No. 5 UCLA needed only a win over unranked <a href="/wiki/1987_USC_Trojans_football_team" title="1987 USC Trojans football team">USC</a> to gain the Pac-10 title, but the Trojans pulled off a 17-13 upset to earn the <a href="/wiki/1988_Rose_Bowl" title="1988 Rose Bowl">Rose Bowl</a> berth. Their opponent would be No. 11 Michigan State, who had already clinched the Big Ten championship. No. 6 <a href="/wiki/1987_Syracuse_Orangemen_football_team" title="1987 Syracuse Orangemen football team">Syracuse</a> won a thriller against West Virginia, triumphing 32-31 on a two-point conversion with ten seconds left to finish the regular season undefeated. The top five in the next poll were No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 Miami, No. 3 Florida State, No. 4 Syracuse, and No. 5 Nebraska. </p><p><b>November 26–28:</b> No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 4 Syracuse had finished their seasons. No. 2 Miami shut out No. 10 Notre Dame 24-0, No. 3 Florida State won 28-14 at Florida, and No. 5 Nebraska beat Colorado 24-7. The last few bowl tie-ins were decided this week: No. 7 Auburn’s 10-0 shutout of No. 18 Alabama in the Iron Bowl gave the Tigers the SEC title and a <a href="/wiki/1988_Sugar_Bowl" title="1988 Sugar Bowl">Sugar Bowl</a> berth, while No. 15 Texas A&M won the SWC and a spot in the <a href="/wiki/1988_Cotton_Bowl_Classic" title="1988 Cotton Bowl Classic">Cotton Bowl</a> with a 20-13 defeat of Texas. The top five remained the same in the next poll. </p><p><b>December 5:</b> No. 2 Miami ended their season undefeated with a 20-16 win over No. 8 South Carolina. The other top-ranked teams had already finished their schedules, and the top five remained the same in the final poll of the regular season. </p><p>With both teams possessing 11-0 records, the Orange Bowl between No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 Miami would decide the national championship. Over the past three years, the Sooners were 0-2 against the Hurricanes and 33-0 against all other opponents, and they would have the opportunity for revenge on the biggest stage. No. 4 Syracuse, also undefeated but without a clear path to the championship, would face No. 6 Auburn in the Sugar Bowl. No. 3 Florida State and No. 5 Nebraska (whose only losses were to Miami and Oklahoma respectively) would match up in the <a href="/wiki/1988_Fiesta_Bowl" title="1988 Fiesta Bowl">Fiesta Bowl</a>. The Rose Bowl featured the usual Big Ten/Pac-10 matchup of No. 8 Michigan State and No. 16 USC, while the Cotton Bowl pitted No. 12 Notre Dame against No. 13 Texas A&M. </p> <div class="mw-heading
