No. 2 Miami has passed every test thrown its way this season.
The Hurricanes have notable wins against Notre Dame, Florida and Florida State, while they’ve cruised against inferior opponents en route to a 5-0 record.
In addition to the unblemished record, Miami ticks just about every box when it comes to identifying a championship-caliber roster.
Carson Beck has emerged as a Heisman frontrunner, the defense is a showstopper and the Hurricanes are dominant in the trenches.

As for the coaching prowess of Mario Cristobal, well, the jury’s still out.
Louisville vs. Miami odds, prediction
Before the season, these two teams were seen as peers. With Clemson tagged as the runaway favorite in the ACC, Miami and Louisville were joined by SMU and Georgia Tech as the teams most likely to challenge the Tigers for supremacy in the conference.
As it turns out, we were wrong about everything in the ACC.

Not only has Clemson fallen flat, but Miami has established itself as one of the best teams in college football, while Louisville has yet to impress.
The Cardinals started hot, but a loss to Virginia and a close call against Pitt have really soured the market on Louisville.

That puts the Cardinals in a must-win spot against the Hurricanes, which is asking a lot since they’re two-score underdogs on the road.
Betting on College Football?
And while that may seem like a wide number considering how these two teams were priced before the season, the stylistic matchup here screams rout.
Louisville quarterback Miller Moss has seemingly lost the confidence of his coaching staff, as Jeff Brohm has stated he may use a multi-quarterback attack Friday.
Moss’ main issue has been his ineffectiveness under pressure, which is a disaster against this vaunted Miami front.

And it’s not like Louisville’s running game will be able to take much of the burden off of Moss. The Hurricanes are elite against the run and the Cardinals do not boast a competent running game this season.
The Cardinals essentially will be depending on Moss to win this one on his own, which is a recipe for disaster.

A mother in Miami Gardens has been sentenced to five years of probation after her 2-year-old son accidentally shot himself with a gun he found in her purse.
According to police, the incident happened last summer at an apartment complex in Miami Gardens. Authorities say the toddler grabbed his mother’s firearm from her purse and accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting himself in the leg.
Video captured at the scene showed the child being rushed to the hospital on a stretcher. The boy survived and has since fully recovered.
The child’s mother, 35-year-old Christina Monique Doyle, was arrested and charged with child neglect and culpable negligence for allowing easy access to the weapon. Prosecutors said those charges carried a possible sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

During a court hearing, the presiding judge, Alberto Milian, emphasized the responsibility that comes with gun ownership.
“I am a very pro-gun person, but along with the right and the privilege of having a gun comes responsibilities,” Milian said.
Doyle ultimately accepted a plea deal where she pleaded no contest, allowing her to avoid jail time. Instead, she was sentenced to five years of probation.
Her attorney, Dustin Tischler, said Doyle has no prior criminal record and described the incident as a mistake.
“She’s 35 years old, never been in trouble whatsoever in her life,” Tischler said. “She’s a very good mother, a very caring mother to several children. This has been a nightmare, and she’s happy to get it behind her.”

Tischler also said the case should serve as a warning to gun owners about keeping firearms secure around children.
“Even though she had it in her purse and thought it was secure, the child was able to get to it when she was distracted,” he said. “If you have a firearm, it’s important to keep it locked away.”
Tischler said Doyle has completed a parenting program through the Florida Department of Children and Families and how she is allowed to have contact with her children, including her son who is now doing well after recovering from the injury.
NBC6 reached out to DCF about the case but we haven’t heard back yet.
Miami’s own pays tribute to former teacher on SNL Miami’s own Marcello Hernandez brought a piece of home to SNL for his latest performance, giving a tribute to his hometown and a special teacher in that classic Miami accent.
NEW YORK CITY — Miami’s own Marcello Hernandez brought a piece of home to SNL for his latest performance, giving a tribute to his hometown and a special teacher in that classic Miami accent.
During his performance, Hernandez definitely brought the character of “Mr. Fronzi” to life.
The over-the-top teacher with a big heart was a character inspired by his real-life theology teacher at Miami-Dade’s private Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, Angie Fernandez.

And Hernandez even flew her up to New York City to see the skit live in person.
“When I saw the skit, I was flabbergasted. I laughed from here to eternity. It was so good,” Fernandez said. “I am so honored that he chose to imitate me. That’s the best compliment you can give somebody!”
Fernandez said that while Hernandez drove her crazy in her classroom, he was also always humble, honest and she calls him one of her favorite students.
