Where Miami Ranks in Polls After Final Bye Week of the Season
In a week where the Miami Hurricanes take their final bye week of the season, the college football world and the ACC saw many changes in the guard. Penn State lost to Northwestern, and now James Franklin has been fired, with a nearly $50 million buyout.
Florida State has unranked again after dropping its third consecutive game in the ACC this season, while Indiana defeated Oregon on the road to solidify itself as a potential player in the national championship hunt.
For the Canes, they remain in the same spot as last week in the AP Polls, but are climbing to the No. 2 spot in the USA Today Coaches polls.
Miami will have a “short week” as they face off against the Louisville Cardinals on Oct. 17 in a Friday night game at Hard Rock Stadium
