Miami passed Utah to move up to 12 in the College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night. The Hurricanes likely need to move up to 10th to earn a CFP berth. The ACC Champion and the best Group of Five program are guaranteed CFP berths ahead of Miami.
Miami needs chaos and major help this weekend to earn an ACC Championship Game berth. Georgia Tech has completed its ACC schedule with a 6-2 record. The Bulldogs play their annual non-conference rivalry game against Georgia on Friday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Other key games that will have an impact on Miami's quest for an ACC Championship Game berth are Duke (5-2 ACC) at Wake Forest, Virginia Tech at Virginia (6-1) and SMU (6-1) at California.
