Game-by-Game Predictions
Week 1 – vs. Notre Dame
A high-profile kickoff against a rivalry foe. Tough matchup, but with home-field advantage and the centennial season buzz: Prediction: Miami edges it in a close one, ~28–24.
Week 2 – vs. Bethune-Cookman
Cupcake game and a chance for Beck to build rhythm: Win, expected blowout.
Week 3 – vs. USF
Again favorable—USF struggles continue: Win, solid margin.
Week 4 – vs. Florida
A strong non-conference test. Florida’s stingy defense vs. Miami’s revamped offense: Miami likely wins, assuming Beck settles in—maybe 31–27.
Week 6 – @ Florida State
Preview offers a “realistic” scenario of a 31–17 Miami win—official outlook leans Miami: Prediction: Win, 28–17
.
Week 8 – vs. Louisville
ACC rivalry with Louisville on the rise—but Miami’s at home with improved defense: Win, though moderately tough, 24–20.
Week 9 – vs. Stanford
Pac-12 opponent; Miami's offensive firepower and home advantage give edge: Win, comfortable, though Stanford may compete.
Week 10 – @ SMU
A pivotal ACC showdown. SMU’s high-octane offense and Miami transfers make it tricky. Preview warns it's pivotal: Prediction: Miami wins narrowly, e.g., 30–27
.
Week 11 – vs. Syracuse
Syracuse upset Miami last year; preseason note sees a chance but tilts toward Miami if defense improves: Miami should win at home, 27–21
.
Week 12 – vs. NC State
Tough ACC game, but home-field counts: Predicted win, 28–22.
Week 13 – @ Virginia Tech
Road game with physical underdogs: Close win, 24–21, assuming discipline improves.
Week 14 – @ Pittsburgh
Season finale away—Pitt decent, but Miami resumes form: Win, 27–17.

Projected regular-season record: 12–0
Key Assumptions & Caveats
Defense improvement under new coordinator Corey Hetherman is vital for close wins
.
Carson Beck’s health and consistency are crucial; this model assumes a steady, game-manager performance
.
The prediction skews optimistic, banking on a near-perfect season.
Preseason skepticism warns of possible slip-ups: "likely finish mediocre 8-4" and Miami's historical inconsistency remain factors

.
Final Thought
This optimistic scenario leans toward a 12–0 regular season—a perfect run that relies on improvement on defense, veteran QB play, and avoiding sloppiness. A more tempered prediction might see 10–2 or 11–1, with potential pitfalls in road matchups or midseason fatigue.
If you'd like, I’d be happy to simulate how an 8–4 or 9–3 outcome could unfold, pinpointing where the hiccups most likely occur.

After that 12-0 prediction, can you predict the postseason

Alright — if Miami really rides that 12-0 regular season wave, here’s the most likely postseason path:
ACC Championship Game
Opponent: Likely Clemson (they’re the ACC preseason favorite).
Matchup: Miami’s offensive line vs. Clemson’s pass rush would be the chess match here.
Prediction: Slight Miami edge if Beck stays poised — Miami wins 27–24.
Outcome: 13-0, ACC Champions.
College Football Playoff (CFP) Semifinal
Opponent: Probably a 2 or 3 seed — possibilities: Georgia, Ohio State, or Texas.
Scenario:
If Miami is the No. 1 seed: could face the lower-ranked unbeaten or 1-loss champ (Oregon, Penn State, etc.).
If they’re the No. 2 seed: likely face a powerhouse like Texas or Georgia.
Prediction:
A balanced defensive performance keeps Miami in it, but against Georgia or Texas, this is razor-thin.
Prediction: Miami wins 28–23 if not facing
Georgia… but loses 31–20 to Georgia.
Outcome: Either CFP Final berth or elimination in semifinal.
National Championship Game (if they make it)
Opponent: Georgia, Michigan, or Texas most likely.
Matchup Concerns: Depth on defense and Miami’s ability to protect Beck against elite defensive fronts.
Prediction:
Against Michigan: Miami wins 24–21 (matchup favors Hurricanes’ speed).
Against Georgia: Miami loses 31–17 (too much depth gap right now).
Overall Likely Postseason Path
Ceiling: 15-0, National Champions (requires avoiding Georgia until title game and pulling off a perfect performance).
Middle Ground: 14-1, CFP runner-up.
Floor for a 12-0 team: 13-1, losing ACC title or CFP semifinal.
