The Miami football program is 33rd in the “College Football Top 133 Team Rankings for 2023″ by Steven Lassan of Athlon Sports. Lassan expects how well new offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and quarterback Tyler Van Dyke mesh to be a major indicator of how much Miami improves in 2023.
The Miami name still carries weight and the Hurricanes are usually ranked reasonably high to begin the season. Miami has a lot of questions to be answered in 2023 to finish as high as the 30th team nationally. Lassan also mentions the freshmen class, transfer additions and new defensive coordinator Lance Guidry.
