Schlabach predicts the Miami Hurricanes to finish 9-3 overall and 5-3 in the ACC and capture the Coastal Division title. He has the Hurricanes finishing in a three way for first in the Coastal with Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh.

His explanation of the Hurricanes Coastal Division title was the last of his three predictions in the article about the Power Five teams.

"3. Miami wins the Coastal: After waiting a dozen years, Miami will finally win the Coastal Division. In Mark Richt’s second season at his alma mater, the Hurricanes will finish 9-3, 5-3 in ACC play and win the division because of their head-to-head victory over Virginia Tech. They’ll play FSU in their first ACC championship game appearance — after Boston College, Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest made appearances."

In his prediction for Bowl season, Schlabach has the Hurricanes playing the Florida Gators in the Citrus Bowl.  That is the same venue with the same two teams that will open the 2019 season.

One of Schlabach’s ten predictions in the second article involves a second matchup this involving the Hurricanes and Florida State.
