Through the first month of the 2026 college football season, Miami has picked up where it left off in 2025.
Following their run to the championship game of last season's College Football Playoff, the Hurricanes are 4-0 and have a combined margin of victory of 207-36. To get to where they want to go, though, they'll have to survive a trip to Death Valley.

After rising to No. 4 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, Miami will hit the road for the third time in ACC play this season when it takes on Clemson in a Week 5 matchup on Saturday, Oct. 3 at Clemson Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.
Coach Mario Cristobal's team has had arguably the most explosive offense in the sport through the first full month of the season, averaging 51.8 points per game. That unit has been carried by a pair of superstars in quarterback Darian Mensah (1,211 yards, 14 touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 88.7% of his passes) and wide receiver Malachi Toney (564 receiving yards and six touchdowns), both of whom are generating significant Heisman Trophy buzz.
They'll look to keep their unblemished record and outrageous offensive production intact against a Clemson team that was the dominant force in the ACC for roughly a decade under coach Dabo Swinney. Though the Tigers have regressed a bit over the past four seasons, including a 7-6 mark last year, they've shown a pulse the past several weeks, with three consecutive wins after a 51-10 drubbing at the hands of LSU in their season opener.
