No. 4 Notre Dame beat No. 1 Miami 31-24 on Nov. 7, 2026, at Notre Dame Stadium, ending Miami's unbeaten season and marking the first time in seven years the Fighting Irish had knocked off the nation's top-ranked team, according to ESPN and Sports Illustrated. Notre Dame built a 24-3 lead in the third quarter before Miami, behind quarterback Darian Mensah's three touchdown passes, mounted a comeback that twice brought the Hurricanes within one score. The game ended on a disputed non-call: officials ruled that Miami receiver Elija Lofton did not complete what would have been a go-ahead touchdown catch with 3:36 remaining, a call Miami coach Mario Cristobal said afterward he was “beyond upset” about. Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Micah Gilbert. Miami, playing without injured receiver Malachi Toney, fell to 8-1, leaving only two unbeaten teams remaining in major college football. Predict Six's community largely anticipated the outcome, with just 17% of the market's voters picking Miami to stay undefeated.
