Projected seed: 9

Miami's resume rests on a signature road victory at Mississippi and a neutral-court win over Georgetown balanced against damaging neutral losses to Florida and BYU, which leaves the Hurricanes with eye-catching headliners but noticeable blemishes. Comfortable home wins over Stanford and California show the team can handle its nonconference slate while the road victory at Mississippi proves it can win in hostile environments. The neutral setbacks to Florida and BYU are the clearest weaknesses and underline the need for more high-quality wins away from home. The upcoming stretch provides those chances with trips to Clemson, Virginia, Notre Dame, and SMU along with home tests against Louisville and Florida State, so finishing strong on the road and avoiding slip-ups will determine whether the profile moves upward. Given the mix of quality wins, harmful losses, and significant remaining opportunities, the current standing reflects real upside but also a short list of things that must be cleared.
