Miami: 2026 Week 11 recap

Miami remains unbeaten at 8–0 and sits fifth in the GIE ratings at 24.7, though last week's road win over North Carolina (38–35) didn't move the needle—the rating held steady. The Hurricanes' late-game leverage performance of 4.55 powered that comeback, but a red-zone TD rate of just 17% hints at offensive efficiency that won't sustain indefinitely. GIE projects Miami to win 11 games and assigns them an 89% shot at the ACC title, with a 99.9% path to the playoff. The real test arrives at Notre Dame this week: a matchup against a ranked opponent that could either cement Miami's top-four credentials or expose the red-zone struggles. For now, perfect records are rare. This one is holding.
