They beat us by a million and won nine games.

How many times have we won 9 games in the past two decades?

None of that has anything to do with the fact that it was much, much easier for a team to win 9 games against Duke's 2022 schedule than it would be to win 9 games against Miami's 2022 or 2023 schedule. Which is what we're talking about. That's your premise. But again, the schedule were absurdly disparate. They literally played the easiest schedule possible for an ACC member. That's absolute, not conjecture. And their OOC schedule was horrific. What would Duke's record have been against our schedule? Honest question. I say: TAMU, FSU and Clemson would have murdered them. And they'd still have lost to Kansas, GT, UNC and PITT like last year. And there's seven losses. Boom. Schedules matter!

If you want to say "Miami should have won more games last year because we had the talent to win more games last year" then I'm with you.
