There is still hope to look forward to for Miami football. Even with its final three games rescheduled, No. 10 Miami has already passed its season win total from a year ago and is in line to play in a major bowl game in 2020. That’s a huge factor being that nine of the postseason contests have already been canceled, including four that are associated with the ACC.
