The College Football Playoff released the dates and times for all 11 games that will be a part of the 12-team playoffs at the end of the 2024-25 season.

For a month straight, from December 20 through January 20, the 12 best teams in college football will clash for their chance at the National Championship.

Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes are projected to earn a spot in the CFPs for the first time in program history.

Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, Cristobal and his new quarterback Cam Ward, can bring the Canes back to their heyday.
