#3 Miami Hurricanes (9-0)
After two straight blowout wins against top 13 teams, including a 33-point victory over the then-#3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Miami are in a great spot to get into the College Football Playoff for the first time ever. As one of three unbeaten Power Five conference teams, they control their own destiny, and a 12-0 finish as Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) champions (not 13-0 because their Week 2 game against the Arkansas State Red Wolves was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma) will certainly do the job.
Just like with Alabama and Clemson, FiveThirtyEight gives Miami greater than a 99% chance of making the College Football Playoff if they win out, all other things being equal. The Hurricanes go up against the Virginia Cavaliers this weekend before a matchup with the Pittsburgh Panthers leading up to the ACC championship game against #2 Clemson.
