Miami (OH) RedHawks

Kent State Golden Flashes

College Football

Tuesday night marks the second release of the College Football Playoff rankings, and the Oregon Ducks should expect to stay No. 1. Behind Oregon, however, the CFP Selection Committee has some decisions to make.

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes should stay put, but the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs and No. 4 Miami Hurricanes both suffered upset losses on the road. While neither team is effectively eliminated from the 12-team playoff after losing, both Georgia and Miami fell out of the top-10 in the AP Top-25 Poll on Sunday. How far will they drop in the CFP rankings?

If the No. 5 Texas Longhorns and No. 6 Penn State Nittany Lions replace Georgia and Miami, then the Big Ten Conference will have three out of the top four teams. However, the final top-25 will look much different because the first four rankings are reserved for the four highest-ranked conference champions at the end of the season.

Despite the Big Ten’s presence at the top of the rankings, the CFP Selection Committee placed No. 7 Tennessee above No. 8 Indiana in the first edition of the top-25. This decision implies that the Hoosiers’ undefeated record against below-average opponents is less valuable than the Volunteers’ 8-1 record with a win over No. 11 Alabama.

No. 9 BYU defeated Utah with a last-minute field goal. The game’s officiating has sparked controversy, but the Cougars are now 9-0 with wins over No. 13 SMU and No. 19 Kansas State. Is BYU’s resume better than Indiana’s?

The argument is potentially irrelevant because the Hoosiers face Ohio State on Saturday. It will be Indiana coach Curt Cignetti’s toughest test of the season, but it’s an opportunity to prove the critics wrong. A win over the Buckeyes all-but guarantees the Hoosiers an appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game.

With three weeks left in the regular season, the rankings are bound to change. As it currently stands, the highest seeds would belong to Oregon (Big Ten), Texas (SEC), BYU (Big 12), and Miami (ACC) in the playoff bracket. However, the rankings will not reflect the automatic bids in the top-four until after the conference champions have been decided.

College Football Playoff rankings prediction:

1 Oregon

2 Ohio State

3 Texas

4 Penn State

5 Tennessee

6 BYU

7 Indiana

8 Notre Dame

9 Alabama

10 Ole Miss

The Miami Dolphins snapped their three-game losing streak on Monday night, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 23-15 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Miami opened the game needing less than three minutes to drive 70-yards and score the game’s first points on an 18-yard touchdown run by rookie Malik Washington, the first of his NFL career.

Tyreek Hill caught his second touchdown of the season in the third quarter on a short throw by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa – halting a career-long seven-game streak without a touchdown for him – to extend Miami’s lead to 17-6, an advantage they never relinquished as the Dolphins snapped the Rams’ three-game win streak. Miami’s kicker Jason Sanders also made all three of his field goals.

“I think it’s a testament to the character of this team,” Tagovailoa said after the game. “We’ve come a long way through however many losses in a row. The resilience of this team, with the external noise, everyone counting us out.

“Hopefully this is an opportunity for us to not waste. Hopefully we can go on a run with this win and find our rhythm towards the back end of the season.”

After making the playoffs last year, Miami’s season was derailed when Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during the team’s Week 2 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He missed the next four games and the Dolphins went 1-3 during his absence.

Entering Monday night’s game, the Dolphins had been 0-2 since Tagovailoa’s return, losing both games on last-second field goals.

However, despite now sporting a 3-6 record after Monday’s victory, Miami remains in the playoff hunt, sitting in second place in the AFC East and 1 ½ games out of the final wild-card spot in the conference.

During Monday’s game, Miami’s defense held the Matthew Stafford-led Rams out of the endzone all night, sacking the quarterback four times. He finished with 293 passing yards, completing 32 of 46 attempts, and an interception.

“It was just negative plays at the wrong times,” Stafford said about the loss. “Whether it’s a turnover, a sack, an inefficient play on first down or whatever it was. We shot ourselves in the foot a little bit in that kind of strike zone area, 30-yard line-ish area. That was probably the difference in the game and not coming up with touchdowns.”

Los Angeles’ rookie kicker Joshua Karty made three of his five field goals in the fourth quarter to keep the Rams close. However, after hitting a 22-yarder in the final minute to make it a one-score game, the Dolphins recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win.

“To create a wildfire all it takes is one spark,” said Miami defensive lineman Calais Campbell about ending the losing streak. “We just got to keep believing, keep fighting and keep going for it.”

The Dolphins (3-6) will next play against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7), while the Rams (4-5) will travel to New England to play against the Patriots (3-7) on Sunday, November 17.
