The Miami Hurricanes come into this week after a close victory against Virginia Tech on Friday night and drop in the Associated Press Polls Top 25. They move one spot to No. 8 while Oregon and Penn State move ahead of them as they also piked up impressive victories over the week.

Even with the close win, the Hurricanes still are undefeated and are headed to Cal following the win. A bye week follows before they play another ranked ACC opponent in No. 22 Lousiville.
