Miami’s crossover game against an ACC Atlantic Division team other than Florida State is against Syracuse this season. In their non-conference they host Bethune-Cookman and Toledo and travel to Arkansas State.
The game against Syracuse replaces North Carolina State. All three true non-conference games are new this season as well. Miami defeated Florida A&M, Florida International and Appalachian State in the non-conference in 2016, while losing at Notre Dame.
The Hurricanes lost in South Bend to the Fighting Irish last season in the teams first meeting on campus since 1990. Miami and Notre Dame had met twice since then.
