Where’s Miami in latest CFP rankings? Full bracket, playoff picture

The Miami Hurricanes have cemented their position at the top of the latest College Football Playoff rankings, maintaining an undefeated 8-0 record and extending their streak of 12 consecutive regular-season wins. Their dominance is fueled by a powerhouse offense, led by Heisman hopefuls quarterback Darian Mensah and receiver Malachi Toney, who rank as the nation’s top and second-best offensive units, respectively.

The Canes face a critical test this weekend in a rematch against Notre Dame, a game that could solidify their path to a second straight playoff appearance. Miami’s journey hasn’t been without drama, as they’ve survived multiple close calls, including two overtime wins and controversial rulings against Florida State and North Carolina.

With a favorable conference schedule—starting 6-0 and hosting the final three ACC games—they appear well-positioned to avoid the pitfalls that nearly derailed their playoff hopes last season, particularly their contentious rivalry with the Fighting Irish. The latest CFP bracket places Miami as the No.

1 seed, earning a first-round bye and a potential semifinal rematch against last year’s national champion, Indiana, if they win their quarterfinal matchup against the winner of UCLA and BYU. Meanwhile, the playoff field includes undefeated Utah and UCLA, along with Georgia and defending champion Indiana, while the SEC and Big Ten remain heavily represented in the top 12.
