Unlike last season, the Miami Hurricanes are set to face at least three ranked opponents during the 2025 season.

The Hurricanes are set to face No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 15 Florida, and No. 16 SMU this season at a minimum. This doesn't include the possible rise in rankings that other opponents the Hurricanes could face this season.

1. Texas
2. Penn State
3. Ohio State
4. Clemson
5. Georgia
6. Notre Dame
7. Oregon
9. LSU
10. Miami (Fla.)
11. Arizona State
12. Illinois
13. South Carolina
14. Michigan
15. Florida
16. SMU
17. Kansas State
18. Oklahoma
19. Texas A&M
20. Indiana
21. Ole Miss
22. Iowa State
23. Texas Tech
24. Tennessee
25. Boise State

Louisville and Pitt are two interesting teams that could rise in the rankings by the time the Hurricanes face them later on in the school year. Also note if the Canes reach the ACC Championship game, No. 4 Clemson could be on the books for another ranked team. This season is one of many that could set the Hurricanes up for success as they prepare to have one of their best season in history.
