Football is officially back today, as College GameDay was live from Dublin for Florida State versus Georgia Tech. Analyst and former Michigan WR Desmond Howard included the Hurricanes in his 12-team College Football Playoff lineup.



Howard put the Hurricanes as a three-seed, as you can see in the full bracket above:

Miami has bolstered its roster with the one of the best running backs in college football joining the squad, Damien Martinez, and wide receiver, Sam Brown. This addition significantly strengthens the team's offensive capabilities, which are already recognized as among the most potent in the league. The team's offensive line, which is regarded as one of the best in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), will be further enhanced by these transfers. With the addition of Martinez, a 1,000-yard rusher, and a trio of 800-plus yard receivers in Brown, Xavier Restrepo, and Jacolby George, respectively, Miami's offense, which was already ranked in the top 25, is poised to achieve even greater success in the upcoming 2024 season.

He’s always been a homer for us but also has kept it real (while being respectful)

In my opinion anyway

I think he does a good job

He has been a Homer for us but given most of the crew picked fsu to win the acc what does that tell you

Clemson is still TBD but they weren’t great last year and the non use of the portal makes me think how much better can they be

All signs point to us being the ‘team to beat’ but the gameday blunders are still a legitimate concern until proven otherwise

11-1, the safe way to say we should go undefeated.
We just may have the team to do it , we’re that close.
We just need that “ special sauce “ Shockey spoke of many times.

Shockey couldn’t even explain it he’d just say we had it over and over.

Maybe it’s when the thinking or questioning stops and everyone is in the zone where you just perform at what you do best.

Jimmy Johnson, would just walk in the locker room before monstrous games and he’d stop the room gets quiet he’d look a round.

Flip the ball to the TEAM “ DO WHAT YOU DO BEST “ and walk out.

That’s when you know you got the “ special sauce “.

A player-driven culture of hard work & leadership with the right mix of talent; when the team realizes each weekend the real opponent is themselves. That's why Johnson famously said 'not about he Xs & Os, it's about the Jimmies and Joes".

I think Mario has created a culture of competition and elevated the talent-level enough to create that special sauce. Now it's about proof of concept, infectious confidence, & trying to dominate opponents.

🎯 spot on brother, it’s time to cut it loose, we have everything we need in place.

Dominate with no remorse.
