On Tuesday night time, the School Soccer Playoff (CFP) committee launched the 4th installment of its rankings for the 2024 season. After setting the inspiration for the seedings and revealing a number of the underlying logic final week with the primary launch, this week’s rankings continued alongside that path as we transfer via the month of November.
Coming off win towards Wake Forest to maneuver to 10-1, Miami was the beneficiary of their very own success, and losses by a number of SEC groups. These losses helped Miami transfer up a spot within the rankings and maintain regular within the seedings projection at this level of the season.
Miami continues to be the best ranked ACC workforce at this level of the yr. Following CFP logic, which means Miami’s projected because the eventual ACC Champions, and thusly retain their top-4 seed and a bye, if the present rankings held true to the tip of the yr. Right here is the total bracket and seeding, on your viewing pleasure:
No matter current rating, Miami continues to be in charge of their very own path to each the ACC Championship Recreation and School Soccer Playoff. Logically, it’s a easy path: win the remainder of your video games.
Because it at the moment stands, Miami is in line for a primary spherical bye. Because the #3 seed, they might be in line to face the winner of 6 vs 11 recreation, at the moment ranked/seeded to be Penn State vs Indiana. However once more, there’s an extended technique to go earlier than any of that is finalized.
An everyday season concluding win towards Syracuse would put Miami within the ACC Championship recreation towards SMU, who’s 7-0 in convention and has already secured their spot in Charlotte. A win within the ACCCG would Put Miami within the high 4 as ACC Convention Champions and earn the Canes a bye to the quarterfinals.
Moreover, SMU transferring as much as ninth on this week’s rankings opens the door for the primary time this season that the ACCCG loser COULD probably make the CFP. However, let’s let SMU fear about that, please. I’d slightly win and get a bye to the quarterfinals. AND, Clemson is knocking on the door for the ultimate at massive CFP bid, as properly. Scenes!!!!
Miami concludes the common season at Syracuse on Saturday at 3:30pm on ESPN.
