How to Watch Selection Sunday to see if Miami Makes the College Football Playoff
The Miami Hurricanes have a way into the College Football Playoff, but does that mean that they will get in?
Selection Sunday will reveal whether the Canes make the playoffs. Thanks to a loss by No. 11 BYU, the Canes are likely moving up, but the discussion is whether the loss to Alabama would kill their playoff chances.
So many scenarios, but it’s going to come down to how the committee views it. It is now in their hands, and the Hurricanes can only pray that they make the right choice.
How to watch the CFP Selection Show
The selection show will air on ESPN from 12 to 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. The show can also be streamed via the ESPN app.
Rece Davis, Booger McFarland, Joey Galloway, and Dusty Dvoracek are set to host the announcement.
