Don't look now but the Miami Hurricanes are heading to the College Football Championship game.  Some lucky folks could end up winning $4000 for every $100 bet should the Canes walk away victorious.   Their odds opened at 40-1 to win heading into the 2025-2026 season.  The Hurricanes will also have home field advantage as the College Football National Championship will be played at Hard Rock Stadium outside of Miami.   But even with the home field advantage, the Hurricanes were expected to open as either a +2.5 underdog against Indiana or a +1 dog versus Oregon. 

Carson Beck scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown with 18 seconds left to beat Mississippi 31-27 in an exhilarating College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night.

The 10th-ranked Hurricanes (13-2) had their vaunted defense picked apart by the sixth-ranked Rebels (13-2) in a wild fourth quarter, falling into a 27-24 hole after Trinidad Chambliss threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dae'Quan Wright with 3:13 left.

Beck, who won a national title as a backup at Georgia, kept the Hurricanes calm amid the storm, leading them down the field for the winning score — and a shot at a national title on their home field at Hard Rock Stadium on Jan. 19. Beck is 37-5 as a starter, including two seasons at Georgia.
