ESPN released its power rankings after week six, and the Hurricanes remain in the top ten.

Previous ranking: 6

The Hurricanes erased a 25-point second-half deficit to beat Cal 39-38, as quarterback Cam Ward was spectacular down the stretch. However, it would be hard to look at their 6-0 record without thinking about how the officiating played a role the past two weeks, with controversial late-game decisions both working out in their favor.

If the Hail Mary decision against Virginia Tech doesn't get flipped and Miami is called for targeting, this exact same team would almost certainly be 4-2. But it didn't, and it's not. So, now Miami heads into the back side of the schedule undefeated and in great position to reach the playoff, either as the ACC champ or an at-large team. -- Kyle Bonagura.

There has been much talk about officiating when it comes to the Miami Hurricanes.

Do you think the refs are helping Miami? lol

I don’t think this game will be close unless Miami commits a ton of turnovers. I am going 42-16 Hurricanes.

Tech has struggled to throw the football and struggled to protect their QB. They allow 2.5 sacks per game. Plays right into Miami’s strength on defense.

as each is near big-time decisions on the trail

Miami and VT’s star QBs, Cam Ward and Kyron Drones, are cousins.

When asked, about the relationship in this week's press conference Ward stated:

“We found out we were cousins my junior year of high school.” Cam shared. “It’s been good. We’ve been building ever since. We work with the same quarterback coach in Houston, TX, in the off-season. I’m just ready to play the game.”
