Projected seed: 10

Miami’s profile reads like a middle-tier at-large team because it pairs meaningful road and neutral victories with a handful of damaging setbacks. The committee will point to marquee wins such as beating North Carolina at home and knocking off Notre Dame and Syracuse on the road plus a neutral-site victory over Georgetown as evidence the group can win away from its building. Those positives are tempered by neutral losses to Florida and BYU, a troubling road defeat at Clemson and disappointing home results against Florida State and California that raise questions about consistency. The remaining slate gives clear ways to improve with a difficult trip to NC State, a road test at Virginia and a chance for a statement at SMU while home games against Boston College and Louisville offer opportunity to polish the résumé, so how Miami fares in those spots should determine whether it moves up into stronger at-large company or remains a borderline selection.
