It didn’t take long for the way-too-early rankings to start rolling out, and Fox Sports is already giving Miami some love.
In its early preseason Top-25, Fox Sports has the Hurricanes ranked inside the Top-10. Yes, it’s January. Yes, it’s early. That never stops anyone from arguing about it.
Miami coming off a strong season is a big reason for the high ranking. The Hurricanes bring back a lot of pieces, and the roster still looks stacked heading into the offseason. That’s usually all it takes for teams to get Top-10 love before spring ball even starts.
Way-too-early rankings don’t mean much when the games actually kick off, but they do show how Miami is being talked about right now. The respect is there. Now the Hurricanes have to prove it when it counts.
Before getting to the full rankings, here’s what Fox Sports had to say about Miami:
Miami is coming off its best season in 24 years after making a run to the national title game. If the Hurricanes can land a quarterback who can manage the offense and get the ball to sophomore wide receiver Malachi Toney, “The U” has a real shot to win its first ACC title.
