Projection: first four out

Miami is on the bubble because its resume mixes some genuine road grit with a few damaging misfires, and that profile fits a team teetering just outside the safe zone. Road victories at Mississippi, Notre Dame and Wake Forest show it can win away from the cozy home gym and a solid win over Georgetown on a neutral floor adds a quality signature, but neutral setbacks to Florida and BYU and an ill-timed loss at Clemson alongside a close home defeat to Florida State undermine that momentum. Nonconference blowouts over lesser opponents don't move the needle, so the remaining slate becomes critical: a trip to Syracuse and road dates at Virginia and NC State are chances to prove consistency on the road, while home tests against North Carolina and Louisville and matchups with Stanford and California offer durable opportunities to erase the blemishes and push this team off the bubble.
