As Hurricane fans, we never want to think about losing, especially not the season opener against the hated Irish. However, if the Canes do stumble out of the gates but take care of business the rest of the way, they should still be in strong contention for an ACC title game appearance and a potential playoff berth.
This is the new era of college football, where a single loss doesn’t ruin your season. According to Brad Powers on Twitter, Miami is one of 13 teams currently projected to be favored in 11 or 12 regular-season games.
Powers lists Notre Dame (currently a two-point favorite vs. Miami), Arizona State, Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State as the only teams expected to be favored in all 12 games. In addition to Miami, other teams projected to be favored in 11 of 12 games include Alabama, Boise State, James Madison, Liberty, Oregon, Penn State, and Toledo.
Last year, Powers had Miami projected as the favorite in every regular-season game, which translated into a 10–2 campaign.
