The Hurricanes received no first place votes but did receive 823 total points on the poll. They beat out notable teams such as Arizona St. (11), Illinois (12), South Carolina (13) and Michigan (14). Although finishing Top 10, Miami is still have below top level teams such as LSU (9), Alabama (8), Oregon (7) and Clemson (6). The Hurricanes play Notre Dame (5) in the first game of the 2025 season.
The biggest change for the Hurricanes this upcoming year is the incoming starting quarterback Carson Beck. Beck was a two year starter at Georgia and won two National Championships as a backup in 2021 and 2022. He was 24-4 as a starter at Georgia and hopes to bring his winning mentality to the Hurricanes and lift them to their first ever ACC Championship.
