Please give us your game by game breakdown showing the wins and losses.

I see people tossing these low win totals and as much as I can't stand Golden, you're setting the bar far too low. The schedule is ridiculously easy and when he surpasses those expectations, it's going to be ammunition for him keeping his job.

The only two losses I think happen for sure are Clemson and FSU. He'll probably have another two against whomever, but that's it.

Clemson - Loss by Savagery
FSU - Loss by Annihilation
Nebraska - Loss, Outcoached
VT - Bud Foster against this oline Lol
Pitt - Outcoached, Loss
UVA - Foldens 1-3 vs London, Loss
Cincy - Thursday night game on the road
FAU - I smell upset

Im on the Golden hater list but I thjnk we'll be quite a bit better. Mainly because of Kayaa, I think he's going to be one of those special cats.

Even a clueless corch can't F up. I say 8-9 wins, sadly that might save that ******** job.
 
Kaaya can't win games for us by himself, especially if he's flat on his back 90% of the time. (Or worse, sitting on the bench in a cast. This OL is going to get him badly hurt if we're not careful. It scares me.)

Even if he's healthy, I expect a 1963-type season when we had a very good and very mobile QB in George Mira. Unfortunately, the receivers couldn't catch the ball, our running game was nonexistent, and the defense couldn't stop ANYONE. We ended up 3-7. It was miserable beyond imagination. We were highly ranked going into that season because of Mira. Unfortunately, the rest of the team SUCKED to an astronomical level.

Agree with most, but won't lose to FAU, and will win 1 of UVA and Cincy. Kaata, will have mediocre to decent year, RB's might to ok. Don't expect much from the or WR. On defense will all depend p pressure we can get on QB. DB's will do OK if we can get some pressure. Hope d-line does not get dominated in the run game. Expecting 5 - 6 wins.
 
Or what, OP? Do our predictions not count if we dont give you our game by game breakdown?
 
The problem is the losses are never expected. I don't think the win total will be under 7, but last year I would have bet the house on winning at least one of the games vs virginia and pittsburgh( which is why I never gamble). so who knows tbh.

What would I possibly base an improvement over last year's record on aside from pure, baseless hope?

This staff has done less with more for four seasons in a row. Now we have less. Why expect more?

BC- W (cupcake)
@Fau- W (cupcake)
Neb- L. (Big name, fat kid up the middle team under the klieg lights, even though they're not suppose to be doing this anymore. Golden comes up small and coaches to a loss.)
@UC- W (road win. The only thing worse than the chili in Cincinnati is the UC defense.
@FSU. L. (More talented team on the road. Fuggedaboudit. Moment too big for Al and D'No to get off the schnied, Cane nation howls, another nail in the coffin, that Cook kid fumbles 3 times but scores 3 touchdowns, the local media, the ones that are left to cover the team, turns up "the noise". #BBB
VT. L Hangover city. Bud Foster has a defense again. Beamer says Miami is well coached.
Clemson- L arguably the best team in the ACC. Al isn't beating a more talented team, even if they have a history of shytting all over themselves in spots
@Duke- W. Canes get a chance to get out of Dodge and win one, temporarily stopping the hemmoragging. Although I wouldn't bet the rent money on it. Night/Halloween game away, I believe, Canes could get spooked on a last second field goal.
UVA. L No comment. The Fly the Banner boys are in full voice
@NC. L Al is just lousy on the road. Dead.team walking.
GT. L No one at Sun Life. Mailing it in.
@Pitt. L Pitt shyts on Al. Blake James points to the adversity the team has faced all year, blah.

I would like like nothing better than to be wrong, being an alum and following this team since the mid 70's. Admittedly I'm low balling, but I don't see Al getting over 6 wins. Not enough changes to make any real difference. We shall see.
 
I dont think a season prediction needs to be broken down game by game. Sometimes its based on a general vibe based on overall talent, coaching and schedule. For example, last year the people who predicted we'd finish 6-6 likely had us beating Pitt at home on senior day. So they might have gotten that game wrong but the overall prediction correct.

This year will be no different. Al golden will have a couple games along the way where his team looks like they watched game film on a completely different opponent than the one they're playing that day. At some point I fully expect golden to lose the team just like he's done the past two seasons. It will likely come the week after losing to a decent team who they should have beaten.
 
Every team on the schedule with maybe the exception of BCC has a better coaching staff than Miami.

BCC - Win
FAU - Win
Neb - loss - out coached
Cinn - loss - Thurs night road game
FSU - out coached and better players
VT- loss - out coached
Clemson - loss - out coached and better players
Duke - loss - out coached
Virg - Win - close but win at home
NC - Win - no clue why I think this
GT - loss - out coached
Pitt - loss - out coached

Swap out GT for FAU and you would nail it.

We finished out last year with 7 nfl players by getting stomped out by powerhouses like Virginia, Pittsburg and a south Carolina team coached by an 80 year old zombie...and our predictions aren't valid without a detailed 800 word essay explaining why? Lulz
