The Miami Hurricanes are (2-0), but for some reason, they did not get a single vote from the AP or Coaches poll after week one.

It's strange because of some of the wins they have had, especially when compared to some of the teams in the Top 25. No. 22 Auburn and Miami played the same team in Bethune-Cookman, and yet, one team went to overtime and was nearly upset, while the other had a 40-point victory.

Nevertheless, the Hurricanes will have a chance to show what they are made of when they take on the reigning national champions, No. 10 Florida, to kickstart some quad-one level games in November.
