ALL STORIES.

Miami lost its perfect season on Saturday night, and the sportsbooks barely blinked. FanDuel opened the Hurricanes as 14.5 point favorites over Duke for the Week 11 homecoming game at Hard Rock Stadium, with the total set at 53.5. The line arrived hours after Notre Dame beat Miami 31-24 and ended the unbeaten run. Notre Dame led 24-3 before the Hurricanes rallied.

Duke brings a story with it. Coach Manny Diaz once ran the Miami program before he was fired to make way for Mario Cristobal, and several former Miami staffers followed him to Duke. Diaz also has former Miami players on his roster, along with several South Florida natives. Darian Mensah and Cooper Barkate played for Duke last year before transferring to Miami, so two of the Hurricanes' key offensive players will face their old team.

The calendar offers Miami a quick reset. Duke visits Nov. 14, and the Hurricanes will have to play without star receiver Malachi Toney, who had ankle surgery and is reportedly out 4 to 6 weeks. He hopes to return for the ACC Championship Game or the College Football Playoff. Duke's chances of reaching that title game are slim, so the oddsmakers see little standing between Miami and a bounce back. The books did not blink, and now Miami has to play the game.

Do you see the same dog in this Miami team that Shockey sees?

Miami escaped North Carolina by three points, and the voters did not blink. The Hurricanes stayed No. 1 in the AP poll for the third straight week after the 38-35 win in Chapel Hill, and their first place votes rose from 59 to 62. Georgia is No. 2 with seven first place votes, and Utah is No. 3 with one. Miami also holds No. 1 in the coaches poll.

Notre Dame is the name that matters next. The Irish are No. 4 in the AP poll and No. 6 in the coaches poll after a 35-13 win over Navy. Georgia climbed to No. 2 behind a 27-8 win over Florida, but the Hurricanes own an 8-0 record, a 6-0 ACC mark and a trip to South Bend. The two teams meet Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. on NBC.

The first College Football Playoff rankings arrive Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, four days before kickoff. Last year Miami beat Notre Dame 27-24 in the opener, and that result helped the Hurricanes land an at large playoff bid while the Irish missed the field. Voters have rewarded the record so far. Three points was thin, but it was enough to keep the top spot, and Saturday night in South Bend sets the next price.

Does Miami deserve No. 1 after a three point win, or does Notre Dame take it on Nov. 7? 👇

Pitt came to Hard Rock Stadium hoping a backup quarterback and a leaky secondary would be enough. Miami spent the afternoon showing otherwise, and the final score, 52 to 23, was the least of it.

Darian Mensah threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Malachi Toney caught 16 passes for 194 yards and three scores, including a catch of 53 yards that left the Pitt secondary looking flat-footed. Javian Mallory ran for 47 yards and two touchdowns, and Mark Fletcher Jr. added 41 rushing yards and another score.

Pitt was not finished. Holden Geriner threw for 268 yards, Cataurus Hicks caught five passes for 149 yards, and Damon Ferguson Jr. scored on a run. The Panthers lost a fumble along the way, though, and when the passing and rushing yards were added up, Miami had 506 yards of offense to Pitt's 403.

Jake Weinberg kicked a field goal from 40 yards and made all seven extra points. Pitt never found the stretch of football that turns a game around, and Miami never gave it one.

The No. 1 ranking was supposed to paint a target on the Hurricanes. They carried it onto the field, played as if the target were not there, and let the scoreboard make the argument.

Which Miami player did you think stood out?
