that Miami's opponent win percentage is .723, 2nd highest in the nation behind Arkansas.

What do I make of this?

We are 6-3

If we were undefeated it would mean something. So make nothing of it.
That's the truth. Many years ago, a gator friend of mine was pointing out the great teams the gator had lost to that year. I told him that the most impressive thing about that list was how long it was.

Still doesn't excuse our record being 6-3. I mean we have played 4 teams with at least 7 wins so far. And number 5 is this weekend.
 
duke is a ****ty team, yet has one loss. that's what you make of it

yet. Crappy Duke team beat Georgia Tech something we couldn't do

We should have beaten GT by double digits. Sickening game.

Couldn't agree more. We'll have to see how the season plays out to see if it was the breaking point for the staff where they finally saw that the status quo wasn't sustainable here.

This stat is not true, as far as I can tell.

In other words, we do OK against mediocre teams, and we lose to good teams. I fail to see the importance of strength of schedule when you're losing to the better teams on your schedule every year anyway. When you're comparing two or more teams with good records, strength of schedule might actually mean something.
