Miami Hurricanes 2026 Season: High Hopes and Crucial Games

CBS Sports analyst Brad Crawford projects Miami Hurricanes 2026 season, with a best-case scenario of a perfect 12-0 regular season and a worst-case scenario of a 10-2 record. The team has strengthened its roster, keeping star wide receiver Malachi Toney and adding quarterback Darian Mensah and wideout Cooper Barkate from ACC champs Duke. The defense has also been reinforced.

Miami Hurricanes are favored to reach the College Football Playoff, with odds of minus 280. However, past losses in Friday night games, such as the 24-21 defeat to Louisville in 2025, still linger. The teams season begins on September 4th at Stanford, followed by a game at Wake Forest on September 18th. Crawford emphasizes the importance of splitting these road tests. A win against Notre Dame in November could secure a top-four seed, even with a 10-2 record.

With top-ten preseason expectations, Miami Hurricanes are poised to return to the playoff, provided they win the ACC title and avoid tiebreaker complications.
