The 2019 Miami football schedule has been declared as advantageous for a positive outcome to their season. Three of the Hurricanes 2019 opponents were named as three of college football’s teams on the rise for the upcoming season.

Florida is likely to be the only team on the 2019 Miami football schedule to be in the preseason rankings. The ACC Coastal could be the weakest divisions in FBS and the Hurricanes play rebuilding Louisville in their ACC crossover game. Miami should win September non-conference games against Bethune-Cookman and Central Michigan.

Florida, Florida International and Virginia are the teams on the Miami football schedule named as teams on the rise in an article by Athlon Sports. The Hurricanes defeated FIU and lost to Virginia in 2018. Miami is playing Florida in the upcoming season for the first time since a 21-16 victory over the Gators in 2013.

Miami’s 55 games against Florida are second only to the 63 Miami has played against Florida State. The Hurricanes and Gators have played only eight times since 1987. Miami has won seven of those meetings. The Gators are coming off a turnaround season in 2018. Florida went 10-3 in Dan Mullen’s first season.

The Miami football team and FIU have played three times including last season’s 31-17 Hurricanes victory. Last year was the first time the Panthers reached double digits against Miami. The Hurricanes won 35-0 in 2006 and 23-9 in 2007. A fight marred the 2006 game.

Miami’s loss to Virginia in 2018 broke a three-game Hurricanes winning streak against the Cavaliers. Virginia’s last win against Miami was in 2014 in Charlottesville. The loss began a four-game losing streak for the Hurricanes in 2018. The series has been close with Miami holding an 11-9 edge.
