The Miami Hurricanes have started to do the things that the College Football Playoff Committee has wanted them to do. They are winning dominantly after a down middle of the season for the program.

However, the CFP rankings won't be released until Tuesday; for now, there are the AP and the Coaches Polls. The Hurricanes sit at the 14/15 team in the country,

However, with Oklahoma defeating Alabama, the Canes now have a harder time making the College Football Playoff than before. Now they have to try and get to the No. 10 spot before the end of the season. These polls serve as a reference to where people around the country believe they are.
