.. And give me some legitimate reasons why we can't go undefeated this year.
FSU and ND(struggling with Duke)are dumpster fires
Vt on the road short week will be determining factor. May be our only loss
UNC defense is historically bad and gene chizik has reached a new low not to mention new qb.
Unc is averaging 400 ypg rushing given up in their last three losses
Uva worst team in America
Duke trash
Pitt gave up 500 passing to okie
FSU will be hard rivalry game but just gave up 300 yards and 5tds to usf after having Louisville drop 63 on them with ease (could have dropped more)
In no way shape or form am I saying we SHOULD win a championship this year...
but this schedule is the easiest one we've had in years and it's looking like we lucked out pretty nicely
After watching supposed tough opponents on our schedule I think this should be at least a consideration going forward
For the record I still say we drop one to Vt or someone along the way but this is our best shot in 12 or 13 years and we are the better team in every game until Acc champ game imo

Miami-Florida State 2016: ESPN holds game time announcement | Canes Watch
Elsewhere, Miami was ranked No. 6 in SB Nation’s advanced metrics (S&P+), a rating of a team’s offensive and defensive efficiency. FSU (13th), Virginia Tech (14th), UNC (30th), Pitt (36th) and N.C. State (40th) were also in the top 40.
Accordng to the SB Nation projections — which change by the week — Miami is more than 50 percent likely to win all of its remaining games. FSU, Virginia Tech and N.C. State are the only games in which Miami has less than a 70 percent percent chance. If the teams played today, the S&P+ ratings would project Miami to beat FSU by 5.9 points, Virginia Tech (on the road) by 1.3 points and N.C. State (on the road) by 8.5 points.
Notre Dame, which was expected to be one of the toughest teams on Miami’s schedule, was 46th. The Irish, who have struggled defensively, rank 104th nationally in yards per play allowed. That’s slightly better than FSU (121st), which followed its 43-point loss at Louisville by allowing 290 yards on the ground at South Florida in a 55-35 win.
Through three games, Miami ranks first nationally in yards per play allowed (3.10) and second in yards per play gained (8.29).
