Miami Hurricanes near national title game
The Miami Hurricanes football team is very close to playing in the national championship game.
They started the season well but had some losses that made it seem unlikely they would make it to the big game.
However, they won their last six games, including a big win against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.
This win puts them in a position to play for the national title at their home stadium.
Their quarterback, Carson Beck, used to play for Georgia, which they might face in the semifinal.
The team has shown a lot of unity and hard work to get to this point.
Their coach, Mario Cristobal, is proud of how far they have come.
Miami Hurricanes are a win away from playing in the national championship game at their home stadium.
They secured a spot in the College Football Playoff after winning the Cotton Bowl against Ohio State 24-14.
Quarterback Carson Beck, a former Georgia player, could face his old team in the semifinal.
The team overcame early season struggles and a low point after a loss to SMU to make this run.
Coach Mario Cristobal, a former Miami player, is proud of the team's resilience and unity.
