Who will Miami play next? Explaining the Hurricanes 2026 CFP bracket opponent for national championship title

Miami is onto the Final stage of the College Football Playoff.

Mississippi left too much time on the clock for Carson Beck and Miami.

The No. 6 Rebels (13-2) took a 27-24 lead with 3:13 left in the fourth quarter on a masterful scoring drive by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who threw a 24-yard touchdown to Dae'Quan Wright before hitting Caleb Odom for the 2-point conversion.

But Beck and the Hurricanes decided they weren't done, and the sixth-year senior delivered. Beck capped off a 15-play, 75-yard drive ending in a 3-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds left after making huge throws to set up the scramble.

The Georgia transfer completed 23-of-37 passes for 268 yards with two touchdowns to an interception, also rushing for a score. Beck never started in a CFP game at Georgia but is now leading the Hurricanes into the national championship game.

Now, Miami gets to return home, with the Jan. 19 national title game being held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. It has been a storybook run for the Hurricanes, who have gone from CFP bubble team to the national championship, where it'll face the winner of Indiana and Oregon.
