Miami's ACC "gauntlet" is a myth they've been selling for a decade while they finish 7-5. Their non-conference trip is to Florida, who isn't even the best team in their own state. Our Pac-12 schedule was tougher top to bottom last year than anything they'll see. Yards per play allowed is a loser stat for a team that couldn't win close games. The committee punishes losses, not "weak non-conference play," and Miami has mastered the art of the quality loss. That #2 overall recruit won't save a coaching staff that can't develop talent. They're perpetually "back" until they play someone.
