Miami (FL) Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes are playing some of the best ball the program has seen in nearly a decade. The offense is electric and unstoppable, and they are only getting better. They look like they are in mid-season form four games in but there is still more to be expected from this squad.

Cam Ward is the Heisman front runner and there are still some doubts around the Canes and who they are. The defense continues to improve and play better and better as the weeks go on and so do the players. They are getting healthier with the imminent wait of Rueben Bain Jr. and Jalen Rivers to return.

After earning a 50-15 win at South Florida on Saturday night, Miami (4-0) jumps up one spot to No. 7 overall in the latest ESPN Football Power Index ranking.

Texas tops the FPI ranking after a 4-0 start and an impressive road win at Michigan, followed by No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 Georgia, No. 5 Tennessee, and No. 6 Ole Miss.

This will be updated with the AP Polls once released.
