Miami FL Form
Miami FL enter the new season with their sights set on winning the National Championship.
The Hurricanes went painfully close to ending their two decade-plus wait to lift the trophy as they made it all the way to the showpiece game last time around.
A crucial opening night win over Notre Dame proved to be huge as it earned them a place in the college football playoffs despite shock defeats to Louisville and SMU.
Miami FL then shone in the role of underdog as they beat Texas A&M 10-3 on the road in the first round, before downing Ohio State 24-14 in the Cotton Bowl.
The Hurricanes then booked a place in the championship game with a thrilling 31-27 victory over Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl, only to come up just short in the championship game as they fell 27-21 to Indiana.
Stanford Form
Stanford enter the opening conference game of the season looking to build on last weekend’s win over Hawaii.
The Cardinal kicked off their campaign in Week 0 and ran out 37-27 winners at home to the Rainbow Warriors.
They now begin their ACC slate with the visit of Miami FL, and they will be desperate to improve on a disappointing 2025 campaign that saw them go 3-5 in conference action.
All three of Stanford’s victories came at home as they beat Boston College 30-20, Florida State 20-13 and California 31-10.
The Cardinal did face Friday night’s opponents Miami FL during that campaign, suffering a 42-7 defeat at Hard Rock Stadium.
