Miami Hurricanes Ranked No. 10 in Preseason Coaches Poll

The Miami Hurricanes have been ranked No. 10 in the 2025 Preseason Coaches Poll, marking a notable vote of confidence from coaches nationwide as they prepare for their season opener against No. 5 Notre Dame. Alongside Miami, Clemson (No. 6) and SMU (No. 16) are the other Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the top 25, with several ACC teams receiving votes. The Texas Longhorns claimed their first-ever preseason No. 1 ranking, narrowly surpassing defending champion Ohio State, setting up a significant early-season matchup. Miami’s roster improvements, including the addition of Georgia transfer quarterback Carson Beck, and the leadership of head coach Mario Cristobal, have contributed to the heightened expectations. The Hurricanes finished 10-3 last season and are projected to contend strongly within the ACC and beyond, facing multiple ranked opponents this year, including Florida and SMU. The AP Preseason Poll is anticipated soon, which will provide further context as the season approaches.
