Miami dominated Pitt, 38-7, to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive. The Hurricanes' road victory moved them to 10-2 on the season.

Pitt is looking to make its third trip to the ACC title game under coach Pat Narduzzi and first since 2021. Pitt hosts Miami on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for noon. The game is important for both teams, as Miami can get into the conference title game with a win over the Panthers and some outside help.

Without a conference crown, Miami needs to get to No. 10 in the final rankings to reach the playoff and the Hurricanes will be battling for that spot with the Crimson Tide, Cougars and now Texas, whose impressive win over No. 3 Texas A&M on Friday night was a signature victory for the Longhorns.

Pitt running back Desmond Reid will return against No. 12 Miami, sources told ESPN, as the Panthers need a win and help to reach the ACC championship game.

On the flip side, if Miami doesn't qualify for the ACC Championship Game, then its best hope is an unlikely at-large bid.
