Hurricanes make progress and move up in College Football Playoff rankings

November 12, 2025

If the College Football Playoffs started this week, Miami would qualify for the College Football Playoff — just barely.

Because Miami is currently the top-ranked team in the ACC, the Hurricanes currently project as the No. 11 seed in the playoffs.

The College Football Playoff selection committee moved Miami up to No. 15 in this week’s rankings after putting Miami at No. 18 last week. In that projected bracket, the Hurricanes would travel to play No. 6 Texas Tech in the first round of the playoff.

“We had some teams lose, and again, the conversation with Miami has been about their consistency,” College Football Playoff selection committee chair Mack Rhoades said on ESPN. “Their consistency, especially on offense. They’ve been really, really good on defense. Obviously, the head-to-head with Notre Dame comes up. … All of those things played into it. We’ve got great respect for Miami. When you think about the eye test, they’re really talented, both sides of the ball. Just need to be a little bit more consistent on the offense.”

With two conference losses, the Hurricanes are unlikely to make the ACC title game — though they are not mathematically eliminated yet. Without the bid that would likely come with a conference title, Miami is relying on an at-large spot granted by the committee.

The Hurricanes, who were No. 16 in this week’s AP poll after beating Syracuse, close out the year with a game against one ranked team: No. 22 Pittsburgh.

The Panthers also play No. 9 Notre Dame this week. The Fighting Irish, who lost to UM in Week 1, are several spots ahead of Miami despite the head-to-head loss and identical records. Last week, committee chair Mack Rhoades cited UM’s lack of consistency as a reason why the Hurricanes were ranked so low.
