Where Does Miami Rank in the Final Polls of the Season

The standard has been set for the Miami Hurricanes. They finished the season with a Round of 32 appearance while also retaining some of their best players from last season.

While Tru Washington continues to ponder whether he wants to return, there is a clear message to every Hurricane that follows. It has resulted in Miami ending the 2025-26 regular season ranked as a team.

In the AP Poll, the Canes make the cut as the No. 24 team in the country, while in the USA Today Coaches Poll, they are viewed a bit higher as the No. 22 team in the nation.

This is only the first year under Jai Lucas and just the beginning for what is to come for the Canes program.
