Part 3/7:
The Miami Hurricanes started strong with a 9-0 record but faltered towards the end of the season, losing two of their last three. Their recent performance raises questions about their postseason possibilities, especially with Alabama, despite three losses, positioning themselves higher in the rankings due to a better track record against ranked opponents.
Ward Manuel, the Michigan athletic director and chair of the CFP committee, emphasized that teams not playing this weekend cannot change their standings, which complicates Miami's chances of sneaking into the playoffs.
