Number 13 North Carolina State and 16th ranked Clemson are scheduled for Thursday and number 21 Virginia Tech on Tuesday. Miami hosts Virginia Tech on Friday, September 27 and Florida State on October 26. Miami does not play North Carolina State and Clemson this season.
Florida State and Virginia Tech are the only ranked teams on Miami's 2024 schedule. Cristobal could be asked about the schedule on Wednesday.
