Miami has made the most of its opportunity to participate in the College Football Playoff and is now only 60 minutes away from capturing its first national championship since 2001. Thursday night's semifinal victory over Ole Miss was an instant classic, capped by Carson Beck completing a game-winning drive with a touchdown scramble.
The Hurricanes have put their two regular season losses deep into the rearview mirror and showed how dangerous they can be over the past few weeks, racking up wins at Texas A&M and against Ohio State before dowing the Rebels. Whomever materializes on the other side of the bracket through the Indiana-Oregon rematch will be a formidible foe but Mario Cristobal's team clearly has the talent and cutlure to win it all.
