25 Miami (FL) Hurricanes
ACC FPR RANK: 5
Coaching: "(Al Golden) has a pretty impressive track record and those that know him really believe he is the right guy for 'The U' in the 21st Century," Huard said.
Current talent: When I was in Houston recently, I ran into former Canes DB AJ Highsmith. He said the injury this spring to QB Ryan Williams was a setback, but there is some hope that freshman Kevin Olsen or BYU/Kansas transfer Jake Heaps can emerge. Highsmith told me that RB Duke Johnson, coming back from a knee injury, was running well and is expected to be a full go for camp and the season.
He also said the defense, returning nearly everyone for a second consecutive season, should be improved. LB Denzel Perryman is a monster.
Recruiting: I was caught by surprise to see that Golden has had two top-10 classes and the other was ranked 15th. I knew he had been good on the recruiting trail but not that good.
Miami is currently a respectable 14th for the '15 class.
So the Hurricanes are getting the players on campus. The success must surely follow, right?
Title path: David Cutcliffe is a great coach, but there's no reason for Duke to beat Miami for a division title. In fairness, the Hurricanes would have won the Coastal the previous season if they didn't opt to intentionally sit out of the ACC championship game to appease the NCAA.
Miami going to Nebraska on Sept. 20 is an intriguing meeting of teams with potential. Recall that UCLA went to Lincoln last year in a similar situation and embarrassed the Huskers.
Program power: Closing the FPR with a run of ACC teams, Miami is different because of its place in the sport's history. It has resources and recruiting cachet that many of the programs listed above hope to one day garner.
When I met Golden last summer, he was understandably preoccupied with how hard the NCAA hammer would come down on the program. Turns out, it wasn't that bad and now it's behind the program.
There's no excuse now. The division is there for the taking. It's time for Miami to take a step forward.

Lost cred as soon as they used AJ as a source. Stopped reading then and there.
