Miami Has the Chance To Do Something Not Seen Since Winning the National Championship
In this story:
Even if the Miami Hurricanes don't make the College Football Playoff, they still have a chance to make history this season.
Not only will they have another back-to-back 10-win season, but it will be the first time since 2002-2003 (when they won their last national championship) that they have accomplished this feat.
This only shows the progression the program is heading under Mario Cristobal; it also shows the consistency that the Hurricanes are trying to get back to. They want to win national championships, but first, they have to return to consistently winning. Getting another 10-win season would only show that this program is serious about winning.
Now the Hurricanes must focus on playing the last game of the regular season. They are looking to make the ACC Championship and try to contend for a CFP playoff spot. The Hurricanes, with a 10-2 record, could be what they need to get inside the playoffs. It could also be the reason they might not need an automatic bid.
The Hurricanes are going to face a battle-tested Pitt team that defeated them last time they faced off against each other in 2022. It killed the Hurricanes' chances of staying as one of the best teams in the country, and now they look to hold the Hurricanes back again.
