You had your chance to vote on Miami's final season record before seeing the team take a snap. Miami had just won the offseason (again), and many of you were very optimistic about the team! Well, now you've had a chance to see what this team is about.

The bad news of course is Miami just lost to MTSU. The good news? The team had a bye week, giving the coaches a chance to reevaluate their strategy. Do you think they took advantage of this time off to look in the mirror and make changes? Or do the coaches commit to the plan in place and double down, consequences be damned? What does Mario's personality make you think he'll do?

Miami is 2-2 heading into ACC play. Eight games remain. Given what you know now, and what you've seen on the field so far, where do you think this season ends up?

Schedule
Bethune - W (70-13)
Southern Miss - W (30-7)
Texas AM - L (17-9)
Middle Tenn - L (45-13)

Remaining Games
Oct 8 - North Carolina (currently 4-1)
Oct 15 - @ VT (currently 2-3)
Oct 22 - Duke (currently 4-1)
Oct 29 - @ Virginia (currently 2-3)
Nov 5 - FSU (currently 4-1)
Nov 12 - @ Georgia Tech (currently 2-3)
Nov 19 - @ Clemson (currently 5-0)
Nov 26 - Pitt (currently 3-2)

My guess? 6-6
Wins against VT, and GT. Then two more (don't ask me which) between UNC, Duke, FSU, Pitt, depending on how much the team drinks the night before.
Risk: A big loss at home to FSU, and the wheels fall off the rest of the way out.

Depends on UNC game.

Win playing solid football and confidence takes Miami to a 7-5, maybe 8-4 record.
Lose a blowout and we’re looking at a complete disaster, 4-8 or worse.

This is Mario’s first big test. How do he and the staff and the team rebound after a humiliating home loss and a bye week?

If the offense is broken and there's no fixing it then every game is a potential loss. The injuries do not help either.

Unless things change schematically then I think 7-5 or 6-6 is a real possibility.

If Gattis doesn't change over the next 8 games he may set his career back 10 years, so hopefully that's incentive.

The first offensive series in the next game will be very telling.
 
UVA and VT are just beyond awful, that’s two wins.
Clemson and UNC are for sure loses.

Split the other 2 games even though PITT looks worse and FSU looks tougher that first thought.

I honestly think if we find a way against UNC we are 6-2 gain into FSU but beating UNC is very unlikely.

Yep. A blowout loss to UNC and it is all over. Someone would need to be sacrificially fired, and Jake would have to start the rest of the season.

Could we vote now in that circumstance to throw DJ Ivey into the volcano as our sacrifice?

If we beat NC, I’m going to be optimistic and say 9-3. If we lose to NC, then my guess is even though Mario brought in some transfers to help out, that Mario and his highly paid staff will at best equal Manny’s 7-5 record.
 
Originally voted 9-3, changed to 6-6. This team is as mentally fragile as ever, and Gattis' scheme is competing with Enos and Nix for worst OC in modern UM football.
