The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes, led by quarterback Carson Beck, face the SMU Mustangs on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025 at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Miami’s losses to then-unranked Louisville and SMU in the past three weeks caused the Hurricanes to plummet 16 spots in the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll, from No. 2 three weeks ago to No.

It seems like Miami's College Football Playoff hopes are done, but the Hurricanes still have a win over a top-10 team (Notre Dame) and dominated a pretty good South Florida team. The Notre Dame win kept Miami ahead of Texas and USC. Neither team holds a win that impressive, and they have flaws in their own right.

Miami has moved to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll. Texas Tech has achieved its highest ranking since 2008.

Gaskins is listed at 6'8'' out of Christopher Columbus high school in Miami, Florida. He is ranked as the No. 4 power forward and No. 16 national prospect by the 247Sports composite ratings. He chose the Hurricanes over his other top choices of Florida and Texas A&M.
