Miami Hurricanes aim for ACC title game with win over Duke
Summary

The Miami Hurricanes prepare to face the Duke Blue Devils on November 12, 2026. A victory would allow Miami to clinch a spot in the final ACC Championship game.

Saturday's matchup will mark a farewell to the ACC Championship format ahead of the 24-team playoff expansion set for 2027.
