Episode Notes

Miami Hurricanes stay put at No. 7 despite routing Stanford 45-6—are AP voters underrating this squad? Alex Donno unpacks Miami’s dominant weekend showing, the stagnant AP rankings, and LSU’s surprising leap. With Ohio State, Georgia, and Notre Dame holding the top three spots, Miami’s path to the College Football Playoff remains clouded by skepticism and controversial voter decisions—including a Rutgers beat reporter leaving Miami out of his Top 25 entirely.

Shannon Dawson’s offense earns praise for flawless execution, notching zero pre-snap penalties in the season opener—a stark turnaround for the Hurricanes’ new offensive line anchored by Ryan Rodriguez. Discipline has become a focal point under Mario Cristobal, with a sharp emphasis on eliminating both mental errors and costly post-whistle penalties. As Miami eyes an ACC Championship Game matchup with Louisville, all eyes are on whether this cleaner, sharper Canes squad can silence doubters and climb the rankings.
