victory against rival Florida State.<\/a> Miami, which was previously No. 3, moved up two spots after the previous No. 1 Georgia lost to Auburn and No. 2 Notre Dame lost to BYU.<\/p>\nMiami is also No. 1 in the USA Today coaches poll and in the FWAA-NFF Super 16.<\/p>\n
Although the Hurricanes are the new top team, Miami coach Mario Cristobal denied that the midseason ranking meant much to the team when asked about the possibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we have a good enough sample size of 2026 to know that\u2019s absolutely insignificant and irrelevant with the changing of the guard from week to week,\u201d Cristobal said. \u201cI don\u2019t see it as a (big deal). I honestly really don\u2019t. Just has no value to our processes and whatnot. But all I\u2019ll focus on the real one that\u2019s important, the 1-0.\u201d<\/p>\n
The No. 1 spot has been a precarious position lately. Texas was the No. 1 team two weeks ago before losing to unranked Oklahoma. Georgia took the spot and promptly lost to unranked Auburn. Miami plays unranked Pitt on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Miami has played one ranked team this season: No. 17 Wake Forest. They have one ranked team still ahead on the schedule: No. 4 Notre Dame.<\/p>\n
