The Miami Hurricanes are a quiet storm that is starting to get more attention as they continue to win and extend their winning streak.

The Canes have won eight games in a row while also battling a roster littered with injuries. Moreover, they are finally in conference play and have a few teams that should be watched, which are now ranked in this week's AP top 25.

The ACC has five teams in the top 25, starting with No. 6 Duke, No. 17 North Carolina, No. 20 Louisville, No. 23 Virginia, and 24. SMU.

The Canes will have a chance to upset several teams in the ACC as the schedule begins to give some ranked matchups for the future. The Canes will now have to face four ranked teams in the ACC and miss out on the chance of playing against Duke.

The Hurricanes are gaining more votes as they jump up to five from the AP voters, while the coaches' votes still don't value the Canes as a threat.
