Some of y'all case building with that "toughest schedule in the nation" driven to try and buy excuses or Manolo. Stop it. Auburn's schedule blows Miami's out of the water regarding toughness:

@ Penn State (#10)
@ LSU
Georgia (#2)
@ Arkansas (#17)
Ole Miss (#10)
@ Texas A&M
Mississippi State (#17)
Alabama (#2)

The ACC is as collectively bad and wide open as it's been since the Canes joined the conference—and Miami is STILL praying for upsets to capture a second sorry-*** Coastal title.

This team is mediocre and Heisman-like efforts by Van Dyke the past three games have saved Diaz's sad gig and masked a brutally bad collective defensive effort.

Some of you citing wins over "7-2" teams like NC State and Pittsburgh—comparing to 7-2 Mississippi State or Texas A&M, as if it's apples to apples—SEC teams with SEC losses while, two average ACC teams lost two average football games. (Pittsburgh lost to Western Michigan and Miami—aTm lost to Arkansas and Mississippi State, while upsetting Alabama.) This really needs to be explained as different?

Miami is 3-6 right now without MVP-like efforts at quarterback—and Diaz is out of a job—which is why so many refuse to feast on sad, empty calorie wins and were "rooting" for the future these past few weeks, not short-sighted, meaningless and forgettable wins against sub-par ACC "talent".

Dead Manny Walking.

Not a single false statement made
 
@NorthernVirginiaCane leading the charge

Just last week, he told the board not many teams in the country could beat MSU and they should have been considered a loss in the off-season to lower expectations. Now that they lost to Purdue, and after we played GT, he’s switching the narrative to “had” the hardest. 6th hardest schedule now!

Injuries and the hardest schedule in the country is why Manny should get another year, says NVC.

#WarEagle

TAMU was (is) ranked when they played yesterday. I think #16?

By the first ACC contest of any season, Miami is already praying for help.

Is your rankings based on the teams rank at the time they played
Or rank now?
We’ve only played 3 teams that were ranked at the time we played them
Bama Pitt and nc state
 
During the broadcast, one of the announcers mentioned how tough our schedule is. I almost did a spit take.

The idea that we have a "tough" schedule is a joke. I do think its ok to admit that our schedule was/is a little more difficult than originally anticipated at the beginning of the season, but its still pretty easy.

1. Bama - Yes, they are tough. Difficult to start the season with them. Our toughest team on the schedule by far
2. App St - Solid for a non P5 school, but still same as an average ACC team
3. MSU - Better than expected. They are a good team, but not great. Got exposed as expected and will lose again
4. CCSU - No comment
5. UVA - Not straight garbage as I like to call them, but they are not very good and are lucky to have their record
6. UNC - Worse than expected. Terrible defense and inconsistent offense
7. NC ST - Above average for the ACC. Lost to a mid-tier SEC team 2nd game of season and have played nobody.
8. Pitt - Better than expected. Not an easy game for sure. This was a good win
9. GT - Worse than expected. They are pretty bad again. Terrible qb play
10. FSU - Garbage
11. VT - Worse than expected. Not a good team
12. Duke - Garbage

So Bama is elite (although not as good as recent years), MSU is good, and Pitt is good. Every other team on our schedule is average, below average, or garbage

Penn state: 6-3
LSU: 4-5
Arky: 6-3
Miss: 7-2
A&M: 7-2
Miss st: 5-4
Bama:..it’s Bama

Now miami
Bama:..again it’s Bama
App st: 6-2
Michigan state: 8-0
UVA: 6-3
Unc: 5-4
