UM predicted to finish 6th in the ACC

The so called experts are predicting losses to Louisville and V. Tech as they are away games, then add losses to an overhyped North
Carolina and the probable loss to Clemson, resulting in a sixth place finish. Louisville is getting the nod because of their offense, but their
defense is suspect, and just the opposite is true with V. Tech, good defense, so so offense. If these were not away games the ranking might be
different. Even so,I think we can win both these games, we have players on both sides of the ball. North Carolina at home gives us another
possible victory. I think winning two out of the three is realistic, just hoping that Manny makes it possible, for me he is still a question marki

I don't have any confidence at this point in this team. Every year we read the same stories and the same crap....."we are coming togehter" " the guys are bigger" blah blah. Till we get a quality head coach, its going nowhere.
 
Thank god. Everyone is always wrong about Miami. We always fall on our faces when we’re picked to win, so I’m happy about this.

It's clear that the national 'experts' didn't actually watch our games last season and are simply going off result, which is not unexpected. Another poster mentioned this but our pal Barry Jackson interviewed a draft evaluator who thought FSU's program was in better shape right now that ours. If that doesn't tell you how tone deaf the majority of national writers are then idk what will.

Manny not outperforming our preseason expectation would be one of the biggest coaching failures in program history. He has a one year rental of one of the most dynamic QB's in college football, hired the best OC we've had at Miami in 20 years and brought in a kicker who won't singlehandedly lose us games (see GT, UNC, UF last year).

I hope this doesn't mean he gets an extension if he goes 7-4.

True, but this schedule doesn't have any gimme games. We are playing average to good FBS teams, with one great program (favored to play for the national championship).

Every week we play teams that know us. We know them. If we play our best game, we beat most of these teams. But inevitably, everyone lays at least one big time egg, and every team plays one game out of their minds. When those two coincide, you get major upsets.

If we play a **** game, we can lose to anyone on this schedule. If another teams plays out of their mind, we can lose to anyone. That's why I consider 9-2 to be the barometer of success and fully expect 8-3.

I think that many of our games will be a slow burn where we gradually pull away (UAB, F$U, UVag, Duke, NCSU);

I see WF being the lesser-talented team that we escape from in a low-scoring game;

I see Ville as a shootout;

I see Pitt and UNC as close games, and not as high scoring;

VT is a tough road game against a rival (and we played like **** last year)- total tossup;

Clemson is expected to beat us, but I think we ride emotion and unpredictability to keep it close until the late 3rd.

It's not a schedule with much margin for error.
 
Hope we shock all the doubters this year
