The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes are officially in the 2026 College Football Playoff and will play the No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies in the first round, ESPN announced during the CFP Selection Show on Sunday.

This is the Canes' first trip to the CFP, leaping over Notre Dame in the rankings despite both teams having the week off. The results are likely due to the Week 1 head-to-head win by Miami, according to the Associated Press.

"We are excited to be making our first appearance in the College Football Playoff," said Vice President/Director of University of Miami Athletics Dan Radakovich. "Congratulations to Mario Cristobal, our coaching staff and our student-athletes on a terrific regular season that was justly rewarded by the CFP Committee."
