Another week goes by, and the Miami Hurricanes<\/a> are left off the rankings. The Canes are coming off a series win against Stanford, winning their fifth straight series, and fourth straight in ACC play. <\/p>\n

However, even with the wins, the Hurricanes have struggled to put a complete weekend together and sweep a conference opponent. Either a bullpen disaster happens, or defensive errors start to mount.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes have one of the best offenses in the country, but they still have their ups and downs. These are the little things holding the Canes back from playing their best baseball and reaching back into the top 25. <\/p>\n

Moreover, the Canes have to help themselves because of the lack of names they have to face this season. The biggest series win of the season was against Wake Forest, but the series dropped to No. 21 Florida, No. 22 Boston College, and Duke are the main reasons the Canes are still on the outside looking in. <\/p>\n

They have to win all of their series for the rest of the season, with the most meaningful one being against No. 8 Florida State at the end of the season. It might be their best way to get a hosting spot in regionals if they take care of business the rest of the season. <\/p>\n

It would also show the culmination of what the Canes can be and will be in the future. They have Omaha-centered goals, but they also have to play like it.<\/p>\n

Miami’s Remaining Teams to Face: <\/p>\n

Cal (RPI \u2014 71)
NC State ((RPI \u2014 50)
Louisville (RPI \u2014 117)
Florida State ((RPI \u2014 10)<\/p>\n
