That said, Cristobal believes that the Hurricanes are more qualified than their competition to make the bracket. “Miami winning 10 [games] is stronger than teams winning 9 games,” Cristobal said, per ESPN College Football on X, formerly Twitter. Miami football will be a tough team to face if they do end up making the field.

Miami coach Mario Cristobal stated his College Football Playoff case Tuesday morning, imploring the selection committee to “go to the facts” when deciding if the Hurricanes deserve an at-large berth into the 12-team field.

Cristobal is not daunted by his team's two losses in three games. Miami's head coach went on ESPN on Tuesday night and argued that his team should be included in the CFP bracket.
