Greg Cote’s Poll Dance: Should Hurricanes make CFP over Notre Dame? Vote now!

The Miami Hurricanes scored a 38-7 rout at ranked Pitt Saturday to end a 10-2 regular season that included a victory over Notre Dame. Now College Football Playoff voters must decide if the No. 12-ranked Canes should be invited into its playoffs ahead of No. 9 Notre Dame.

Should they be?

“This is a college football playoff team,” declared Canes coach Mario Cristobal. “We all know it.”

Is he right?

Do you believe No. 12-ranked Miami deserves to be in the CFP ahead of No. 9 Notre Dame?

Vote as many times as you like or until your fingers ache.

GREG COTE’S POLL DANCE: Should Miami be in CFP ahead of Notre Dame?

Previous Poll Dance verdict: A big ‘no’ to NFL games played abroad: We asked, “Are you in favor of NFL International Series of games played abroad?” You said: No! Games should not be taken away from local markets and fans 71%; Yes! It’s great way to grow sport of American football beyond our borders 14%; and Somewhat. I can see both sides even though that’s sort of a boring answer 14%. (I’m not often surprised by poll results here. But the vehemence of this ‘no’ vote sort of surprised me.)
