The College Football Playoff field is expanding. What it means for Hurricanes
It’s officially happening. The College Football Playoff field is doubling in size, expanding from 12 teams to 24 teams starting in the 2027 season. The news was announced Monday morning by both the CFP and ESPN, which is the media rights-holder for the playoffs. “ESPN and the College Football Playoff have worked collaboratively for more than a decade to make the CFP one of the marquee events in all of sports, and we remain firmly committed to elevating it in its new, expanded 24-team format,” ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said in a press release announcing the expansion. “We value the trust that the CFP has placed in us as its exclusive media partner, and our continued presentation of this premier championship further solidifies ESPN as the home of college football and the destination for college sports for years to come.” The CFP, in its own statement, said the decision to expand the field “was driven by a desire to increase opportunities for FBS programs, student-athletes and fan bases to participate in the Playoff and have a chance to play for the CFP National Championship.” And with the expansion will also come a slew of changes to the college football landscape.

1988 Miami catch vs. Notre Dame wouldn't have stood under 2026 rules
It has been said that lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice, but for Miami and Notre Dame , it did. In South Bend, Indiana, in both 1988 and in 2026, we saw remarkably similar games with remarkably similar controversies, 38 years apart. It's uncanny that two schools could basically replay one game in the same stadium 38 years after the original, only with one noticeable twist: The rules surrounding legal pass catches in football have changed. Let's walk you through this story and its context, which is layered and involves several details: 2026 Miami-Notre Dame non-touchdown Here's the video of the Miami touchdown catch which wasn't. Miami was not awarded a touchdown for this play, even though we can all see the Miami receiver had firm possession of the ball in the end zone and then stepped out of bounds: TRUE OR FALSE: THIS WAS A TOUCHDOWN CATCH BY MIAMI AGAINST NOTRE DAME…? 😳😳😳 WOW: pic.twitter.com/6fbZhC4USy — MLFootball (@MLFootball) November 8, 2026 Cleveland Gary in 1988 Miami-Notre Dame In 2026, Miami thought it scored a tying touchdown against Notre Dame with the score 31-24 in favor of the Fighting Irish . In 1988, Miami also thought it scored

Miami elections chief's partisan statement undermines public trust in her office | Letters
Eroding confidence Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia has apparently forgotten a fundamental principle of democracy: election officials count votes. They don’t declare winners before the process is complete. “María Elvira is the winner, with or without a recount,” Garcia proclaimed as U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar held a razor-thin lead over Democrat Eliott Rodriguez. With or without a recount? That extraordinary declaration came while ballots remained unresolved and a legally mandated recount loomed. Garcia is not a political pundit or campaign surrogate. She is the official entrusted with administering an impartial election. Her responsibility is to safeguard the process, not prejudge its outcome. Perhaps Salazar will ultimately prevail. That is beside the point. When an election supervisor publicly declares a winner before the process concludes, they create an appearance of bias that undermines confidence in the institution they represent. Rodriguez’s request for her recusal is therefore understandable, regardless of whether actual misconduct occurred. Democracy demands more than accurate vote totals. It demands public confidence that every ballot receives fair consideration. Garcia’s reckless pronouncement compromised that confidence. Miami-Dade deserves an election supervisor who understands the difference between administering democracy and announcing its results. The voters decide. Not Alina Garcia. Manny
