Projected seed: 10

Miami’s resume is built on signature moments that matter to a committee — road victories at Mississippi and Notre Dame, a neutral-site win over Georgetown and a quality home victory over Stanford — but those bright spots are undermined by damaging results such as the neutral losses in the nonconference slate, the road setback at Clemson and a home defeat to Florida State, and by a pile of easy wins over overmatched opponents that add volume without much value. The remaining stretch gives Miami clear chances to firm up its standing with home tests like California and North Carolina and road exams at NC State, Virginia and SMU plus key conference games against Virginia Tech and Louisville, and the way the team performs in those tougher environments will determine whether its résumé moves comfortably inside or remains vulnerable on the bubble.
