The preseason coaches poll was released on Monday. Not surprisingly, the Miami Hurricanes did not find themselves among the Top 25.
Did Miami even earn mention? Actually yes, but not at anywhere close to breaking in. The Canes checked in among the “others receiving votes” section with 16 votes. 14 teams have more votes, including UTSA, Fresno State, Troy, and Boise State.
In other words, no one thinks Miami is much better than it was a year ago.
There is renewed faith in other teams that were dreadful in 2023. Texas A&M checked in at #25 despite going 5-7.
