Miami ranked 4th in the first College Football Rankings

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes checked in at No. 4 in the first College Football Playoff Rankings released Tuesday evening, earning the program’s highest CFP mark since 2017.

Miami (9-0), seeded third as a projected conference champion, was behind No. 1 Oregon, No. 2 Ohio State, and No. 3 Georgia.

Following a 53-31 victory over Duke, the Hurricanes remain unbeaten among five FBS teams.

On Sunday, Miami was ranked fourth in the Associated Press Top 25 and the US LBM Coaches Poll.

Up next, the Hurricanes visit Georgia Tech on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for noon on ESPN.

Thoughts on Miami ranked fourth in the country in the first college football playoff:

- Miami ranked behind two one-loss teams (No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Georgia)
- Five ACC teams ranked in the Top 25
- Miami has beaten one ranked team ranked in the Top 25

According to ESPN, Miami has the third-highest strength of record yet is ranked behind Ohio State, which ranks fifth.

SMU, the next highest ACC team, ranks just outside the college football playoff ranking with its one loss to BYU, which ranks ninth in the ranking. This leads me to believe that if Miami stumbles in its last three games, it very well may be left out of the college football playoff.

Teams like Florida, Virginia Tech, Louisville, and others need to continue to win to make Miami's wins against those teams look better in the committee's eyes.

Of course if Miami takes care of business and wins out they are guaranteed a first round bye of the college football playoff.

Keys to the game vs Duke

1- OL communication to deal with Diaz's many blitzes.

2- Effective pass rush. Duke's passing defense seems to be getting better so we need Murphy to feel the duress. On that note, we need to finish our sacks. Lately we get into the backfield but don't bring the quarterbacks down often enough.

3- Keep the running game established. What we've done for the past two weeks has been great. More of that. Duke is 88th against the run.

4- No turnovers. This one is evergreen, but worth bringing up since Duke is 3rd nationally in turnover margin. While they didn't capitalize on their SIX takeaways against SMU, I would prefer not to give them the extra chances.

5- Defense needs to hold strong in the red zone. Duke's kicking game is a mess. They might be tempted to go for fourth downs they normally wouldn't go for because they cannot possibly trust their kicker after last week.

Miami is pushing very much here and the Canes are the top threat for a flip of the UF commitment despite Georgia being the most recent scholarship offer. Waters has had a banner junior season at Seffner (Fla.) Armwood, where he is teammates with UM pledge G Pringle as well as targets Tyler Williams and Kellen Wiley Jr.
