Does Miami (FL) play today? Closer look at Hurricanes' 2024 season schedule
The No. 6-ranked Miami (FL) Hurricanes remain undefeated in the 2024 college football season after a comeback victory in Week 6. They improved to 6-0 after beating the California Golden Bears 39-38, despite having trailed by as many as 25 points earlier in the game.
This start marks only their third 6-0 start in the last two decades and their first since 2017. Let's take a look at whether Miami (FL) plays in Week 7.
Do the Miami (FL) Hurricanes play today?
The Hurricanes will enjoy their first bye week of the season in Week 7. This break comes as a much-needed respite for a team that narrowly survived their first two ACC games, winning by a total of just five points. This follows four consecutive non-conference blowout wins in which they outscored their opponents 209-41.
They will return to the field against the Louisville Cardinals in Week 8.
Can the Miami (FL) Hurricanes make it to the College Football Playoff this season?
The Hurricanes are among the favorites to reach the College Football Playoff in 2024 as the field expands from four to 12 teams for the first time. Their -290 odds are the sixth-best in the nation, trailing only the Ohio State Buckeyes, Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs.
Miami (FL)'s path to the postseason remains relatively easy, placing them in command of their own destiny. While things could change as the season progresses, none of their remaining opponents are currently ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll. If that remains the case, they could be in line to finish the season undefeated but without a win over a ranked team.
The five highest-ranked conference champions will receive automatic bids to the postseason, while the next seven highest-ranked teams will receive at-large bids. The Hurricanes have an inside track to an ACC Championship Game appearance but could find themselves in the postseason even without winning the conference title.
