The Miami football program is ranked 37th in the ESPN Football Power Index entering the 2020 season as recently released by the network. The ranking is fair based on who is returning to the Hurricanes in 2020 and who has moved on. The Football Power Index was developed by ESPN to measure the strength of a team.
Miami is 97th in returning production from 2019 according to the ESPN Metrics guru Bill Connolly. In some respects that number could be considered low based on the additions Miami has made through the transfer portal with quarterback D’Eriq King, kicker Jose Borreagales and defensive end Quincy Roche.
