Today on Canes Pulse, I’m joined by Brett McMurphy of On3 — one of the top college football insiders in the country — for a loaded conversation on the Miami Hurricanes, conference realignment, and the changing power structure of college football. McMurphy explains why he ranked Miami as the #1 team in the country after spring, what he sees in Mario Cristobal’s program, where the Canes could end up in the next wave of conference realignment, and whether the SEC’s dominance is starting to fade. We also discuss the future of the ACC, Miami’s national perception, the Big Ten conversation, and what the next era of college football could look like. Topics include: Miami ranked #1 Brett McMurphy’s view of the Canes Miami’s future conference situation The fall of SEC dominance Mario Cristobal’s rebuild College football realignment Drop your thoughts in the comments: Is Miami really a national title contender — and where will the Canes be playing after 2030?
