How rare is a top 3 ranking in football and basketball; Couches ablaze

Spartan Nation... When was the last time any school was ranked #1 in men's hoops and in the top 3 in football in the same week during the season? The ES wuz trying to figure this out with Joe, Scooz, and Rod at the Peanut Barrel. Hmmm. Florida in its last year of football under Oscar Meyer? Maybe Oklahoma in early 2000's (that's a stretch with basketball); potentially Michigan (Cheating Five; Remedial Robinson title) in the late 80s/early 90s? Ohio State (Greg Oden and the sweater)? Outside of these schools, one might have to go back to the mid 60s with the UCLA hoops teams that were #1 forever under John Wooden and went to a Rose Bowl or more.
