There's a **** ton of hypocrisy going on in this thread.
Let's say the University of Miami DIDN'T have the THE worst administration in the country and hires THE ****TIEST HEAD COACHES in the country and that the program was running as it should and we were a perennial top 5 team (like we should be).
Then, let's suppose Miami DIDN'T play in the worst conference in the country and actually played a tough schedule. If we, as Miami fans, endured two close losses to two good teams mostly because we were missing our star, ready to be first round drafted quarterback.....we'd all be losing our God **** minds.
Strength of schedule should ABSOLUTELY be rewarded. It stops teams like UCF and Boise St back in the day who benefit from not having to handle the rigors of weekly tough competition from back dooring the easy way into the playoffs. Anyone can beat anyone on ONE WEEK. Boise did beat Oklahoma in a bowl back then....but the question is could Boise have beaten that same Oklahoma team, that same year, after having to go through a gauntlet of at least 3 or 4 other tough games? The answer is absolutely ******* **** no.
Say what you want, and God knows Stephen A is wrong a ton....but it doesn't mean he's not right here. You want the best teams in the playoffs, not the best records.
Stupid, as usual. If you are going to go by "best team", then just have the playoffs in early September. Most people realize by now that if you want to be called the best team, you have to win your games.
