The Miami Hurricanes need some help to make the ACC championship game and College Football Playoff. Here's what Miami football fans should root for.
The Hurricanes will conclude the year with two road games. The first game is against the Virginia Tech Hokies (3-7). This game is scheduled for noon ET on Saturday and will be on ESPN. Their final game will take place Nov. 29 against the Pittsburgh Panthers (7-3), and Miami is still in the running for an ACC Championship Game appearance.
That's certainly an understandable data point to consider. Miami after all did lose 24-21 to Louisville and 26-20 to SMU - two teams that aren't in the committee's rankings - while Notre Dame lost to Miami and an undefeated Texas A&M team. But again, Notre Dame lost head-to-head to Miami.
