Eye on the U: Breaking down Miami’s College Football Playoff path
The Miami Hurricanes are still firmly in the mix for the College Football Playoff.
UM is No. 15 in the selection committee’s latest rankings and the highest ranked Atlantic Coast Conference team.
The Hurricanes for all intents and purposes remain on the outside looking in of the 12-team bracket (even if ESPN’s graphic misleadingly showed them as in the field today). They still need to win each of their final three games, starting with Saturday’s home finale against NC State (3:30 p.m., ESPN), but Miami has a path.
What, exactly, is that path? Miami Herald Hurricanes beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre C. Fernandez break that down in the latest episode of Eye on the U. Before that, though, they take a look back at what went right in Miami’s 38-10 bounce-back win over the Syracuse Orange last week and preview the NC State contest.
