Where is Miami in latest CFP rankings? See full bracket, playoff field

· Yahoo Sports

The Miami Hurricanes' path back to the national championship game got a lot harder after their first loss of the season, but they remain in good standing after the latest College Football Playoff rankings were revealed Tuesday, Nov. 10.

UM's 31-24 loss at Notre Dame knocked them from the ranks of the unbeaten, but Darian Mensah and the offense looked competent enough without superstar Malachi Toney to warrant holding onto a high seed. There's an argument that they should have tied the game late in the fourth quarter if Elija Lofton's fourth-down catch in the end zone would have been ruled a catch.

Dropping to 8-1 saw Miami fall from the top spot to No. 5 in the AP rankings and No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. They've suffered calamitous collapses in recent years, losing two of their last three games after a 9-0 start to miss the CFP in 2024. It almost happened again last year, but a dominating four-game winning streak to close the season saw the Canes grab the final at-large berth despite missing the ACC championship game.

With Toney expected to miss the rest of the regular season, their safest path back to the CFP would be winning their first ACC title. They have a prime opportunity with three straight home games to close out the year, though things get complicated if they slip up against 7-2 Duke this weekend.

Here's a look at how Miami fared in the Nov. 10 CFP rankings release:

CFP bracket: Who’s in, who’s out

Miami fell to No. 7 in the latest CFP rankings. The lone ACC team currently in the field of 12 fell six spots, and the Georgia Bulldogs were among the teams that benefited. The Dawgs (8-1) jumped up to No. 1, followed by undefeated Utah, two-loss Alabama and then undefeated UCLA.

Among the 12 playoff teams are five SEC schools, two from the Big Ten, two Big 12 squads, the independent in Notre Dame and the Group of Six school Boise State.
