According to 247 Sports, the Miami football program has the third most favorable schedule in college football in 2020.
The Miami football schedule in 2020 is far more favorable than it was in 2019. After starting the 2019 season playing Florida in Orlando and at North Carolina, the Hurricanes host Temple, Wagner and UAB to begin 2020. Miami was named to have the nation’s third most favorable schedule by 247Sports.

Those should be the four most challenging games for Miami in 2020. The rest of the Hurricanes schedule is at Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Virginia. Miami will host Pittsburgh and Duke in their other two home games. The three favorites in the ACC Coastal Division are Miami, UNC and VaTech.
The schedule is favorable for Miami to win the ACC Coastal. The toughest game of the season will likely be the meeting between the Hurricanes and Hokies November 14. The round-robin between Miami, UNC and Virginia Tech will likely decide the 2020 ACC Coastal Title. Clemson is the only other ACC team mentioned.
