Ahead of the College Football Playoff selection committee putting Alabama ahead of Miami in its latest rankings, Cristobal hyped about his team and the ACC’s chances to stack up against the rest of the SEC on the ACC Network.

Miami coach Mario Cristobal stated his College Football Playoff case Tuesday morning, imploring the selection committee to “go to the facts” when deciding if the Hurricanes deserve an at-large berth into the 12-team field.

That said, Cristobal believes that the Hurricanes are more qualified than their competition to make the bracket. “Miami winning 10 [games] is stronger than teams winning 9 games,” Cristobal said, per ESPN College Football on X, formerly Twitter. Miami football will be a tough team to face if they do end up making the field.
