The Miami Hurricanes have made a significant leap in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll, climbing to No. 12 after starting the season at No. 19. This seven-spot jump comes after their impressive 41-17 victory on the road against the Florida Gators. With this win, the Hurricanes are now the highest-ranked team from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), especially as other top ACC teams stumbled in their season openers. Clemson, after a 34-3 defeat to No. 1 Georgia, dropped from No. 14 to No. 25, while Florida State fell out of the rankings entirely after consecutive losses to Georgia Tech and Boston College. The other ACC teams that made it into the top 25 are No. 22 Louisville, No. 23 Georgia Tech, and No. 24 N.C. State. The Hurricanes will continue their season with a home game against Florida A&M, scheduled for 6 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, and the game will be available for streaming on ACC Network Extra. The complete top 25 rankings are as follows: No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Texas, No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Notre Dame, No. 6 Ole Miss, No. 7 Oregon, No. 8 Penn State, No. 9 Missouri, No. 10 Michigan, No. 11 Utah, No. 12 Miami, No. 13 USC, No. 14 Tennessee, No. 15 Oklahoma, No. 16 Oklahoma State, No. 17 Kansas State, No. 18 LSU, No. 19 Kansas, No. 20 Arizona, No. 21 Iowa, No. 22 Louisville, No. 23 Georgia Tech, No. 24 N.C. State, and No. 25 Clemson.
