Miami is the class of the ACC and has only one close loss to No. 3 Notre Dame. I'm comfortable rating them as one of the best teams in the country, but I have to slot them below ND. The Wake Forest win continues to age well.

8-1. Strong eight-win body of work with Wake Forest and Clemson among the best wins. The lone loss is a competitive road defeat at elite Notre Dame.

Miami has a loss to Notre Dame and has nice wins over Wake Forest (8-1), Clemson (6-3), Pitt (6-3), and North Carolina (5-4)

Can't force feed 1 guy anymore RIP

Impressive road comeback without their best offensive player, I can't fault them too much

CFP: #5 seed, vs Boise State

Finally did not get away with it

Miami struggled to move the ball in the first half against Notre Dame however as Notre Dame lost some players on Defense the game opened up for Miami in the second half. I would have been nice to see both teams at full strength as both teams had key players out this week and during the game but that's football. After Georgia there is quite a bit of parity and the playoffs are looking to be exciting and chaotic

They fought back to make what looked like it might be an embarrassing showing quite respectable. Can't drop them too much lower when they also have a great win over Wake.

Down 4

Um...thanks Miami, for likely extinguishing another round of "Notre Dame left out???" drama?

-5; dropping them for losing to the only team on their schedule worth anything (except Wake)BYU, Ohio State, Ole Miss, and LSU.

The Canes came into the week as undefeated but fell to the Fighting Irish and fall down my rankings as a result. They still have the inside track to winning the ACC.

-6. Would be the #7 playoff seed in this scenario, hosting #10 Tennessee in the first round

29.66 - [7-1-1] Dismantled by #4 Notre Dame, with Malachi Toney out. Couldn't have happened to a worse person. Up next, may they continue to flounder against Duke. (Mode: 8, Median: 23)

Tier 2. Incredibly close finish with #3.

Defense is not up to their ranking.They'll probably suffer an early-round playoff exit

a foot away, kind of like Indiana from a huge win

-4 - Two things; Notre Dame loss was very close, and they still have a solid record otherwise

v4 (#3 1-loss team, better than Wake Forest because (#4 1-loss team) because they beat them h2h, better than Tennessee (#1 2-loss team) because their loss is better than both of Tennessee's losses in my opinion, and their best wins (Alabama vs. Wake Forest) are comparable. Plus eye test wise, Miami is just better.)

This was a few weeks in the making. Miami has had some close calls go their way and is finally on the receiving end of one (to clarify, it was not a catch). Miami drops just outside of my top 5.
