The Hurricanes don't play Virginia or Georgia Tech at any point this season. GT and UVA also don't play each other.
The ACC's expanded, no-division model has created a 2025 headache for Miami: the Hurricanes don't play Virginia or Georgia Tech — the ACC's two top teams currently — at any point this season. That absence of head-to-head leverage matters in a race that sends the top two teams by conference win percentage to Charlotte. Also, to make matters worse, Virginia and GT don't even play each other, so a conference loss from either program is not guaranteed.
