The Miami Hurricanes are on life support. They need help from above to get them into the College Football Playoff, and things are starting to show that they might be able to get in with a few helpful tips.

First, the Canes are ranked in the coaches and AP top 24 as the No. 13-ranked team in the country, as they continue to play great football to close out November. Now the only issue is how they play dominant football against a returning ranked Pitt team, which is also trying to make it to the ACC Championship game.

The Hurricanes are the highest-ranked ACC team, followed by Virginia (No. 17), Georgia Tech (No. 23), Pittsburgh (No. 24), and SMU (No. 25).
