The loss by Texas at Georgia on Saturday should allow Miami to move up to at least 14th when the Associated Press Top 25 and USA Today Coaches polls are released on Sunday afternoon. Oklahoma's upset at Alabama was not the result Miami needed for its attempt to earn a College Football Playoff berth.
Texas was the only team ranked in front of Miami that lost on Saturday. The 23-21 win by Oklahoma at Alabama on Saturday should move the Sooners into the top 10. Alabama and Oklahoma both have two losses. A third loss likely would have eliminated Oklahoma from the CFP and dropped them below Miami.
