Nick Saban Says One College Football Playoff Bubble Team Would Be ‘Most Dangerous’ in Field

The Miami Hurricanes have displayed inconsistent performance this season, impacting their College Football Playoff (CFP) prospects. With impressive wins against Notre Dame and South Florida, Miami has shown potential but suffered setbacks with losses to Louisville and SMU. ESPN analyst Nick Saban highlighted Miami's potential threat in the playoffs if they secure a spot, citing their talent and depth.

To qualify for the 12-team CFP, Miami must either win the ACC championship or achieve a high ranking for an at-large bid. A win against No. 22 Pitt could bolster their resume, but the Hurricanes require additional positive outcomes, such as losses by teams like Oklahoma, Alabama, BYU, and Notre Dame, to improve their standing.

Miami's best chance for an automatic CFP bid is by winning the ACC title, necessitating several favorable conditions to secure their path to the championship game.
