Louisville fell seven spots in the AP Top 25 and five in the USA Today Coaches Poll after losing at Notre Dame. After playing at California and a bye Miami has arguably its biggest game of the regular season at Louisville on October 19. Duke who is 5-0 is the only other 2024 Miami opponent to receive votes this week.
Miami learned on Saturday they will be a major focus this week when ESPN College Gameday goes to Berkeley for their game at California. The Hurricanes and Bears will play half their game on Sunday morning with a 10:30 PM Eastern Time kickoff on ESPN.
