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.

Powers is a great follow-up on X, and his website, BradPowersSports.com, features in-depth team breakdowns and insights for those interested in the betting market.

Losing to ND is unacceptable. This a MUST WIN and Mario needs this badly!
The only must wins are ACC games!! All others are I really want them to win. But the prize is playing for ACC championship and going to the playoffs
 
Miami losing to Notre Dame doesn't matter.

On a Miami message board. In my lifetime. The mighty are dead.

Don’t take it out of context. Never in our lives have non-conference games mattered as little as they do now. Ask Clemson.
 
I think we go undefeated this year. We handle the Catholics and geicos, everything else my boy Beck will make sure Mario don’t slip up. Defense will be better and we run it. Go CANES!!

Posters are already laying the groundwork for "all our goals are still in front of us" conversations. Just win the games.

Beat the Irish and the Gators... Rivalry games matter.

I don't recall him saying big games don't matter...
