What a Saturday!! It’s hard to win games

[DTP]

This is the college football that fans outside of Tuscaloosa want. Competitive games between P4 teams where the outcome hasn’t already been decided in the pre-season. Teams not being able to hoard players anymore has made the game a million times more enjoyable. NIL and the portal have saved college football. Unless of course, you enjoy seeing an Alabama/UGA championship game EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Then you probably miss the old college football.

There are 136 FBS teams.

On October 12th, 11 remain undefeated.

8%. That’s it. Already. The season just started, and we’re down to 11 teams left unbeaten.

It’s really hard to win every week. Keep it going Friday.

I thinkbyoure reading the grief wrong. These teams can't score...ours can...we just choose not to or impose our will running into stacked boxes.

We haven't had to really sweat a win to this point...but I don't want to start either.

This is the complete opposite of what actually happened. Against Florida and Florida State we got too greedy and tried to throw it. If we had just run it, even into stacked boxes, we would have closed those games more easily.

Not like what Cignetti did to them a few weeks ago.

Or what Cignettti did to Old Dominion.....

If we win 8 straight and take the ACCCG on Dec 6th we should all be thru the moon. It's hard to win.

I am hoping to see the team improve over this season, and play their best football at the end of the year.

Which means to be seen.

Keep improving and we should certainly go undefeated through the ACC (including the ACCCG).

#fingers****ingcrossed because we're due for a late season bloom.

This is what every fan base says, and it's very possible that every P4 team loses a regular season game.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... parity shmarity...

16-0, ******!!!

I just want a college football where Miami is the new Bama and dominates everyone year after year

 

[The U is back to work]

If I can channel some @k9cane here

Last year we had a punchers chance when it came to the playoffs

This year we can line up with anyone in the country and beat them straight up

Exactly. Last year I told myself if we just get in nobody is stopping us for under 35ppg and just need to pray the defense held lol

 

[CanesDynasty]

Even osu didn't blow Illinois away. 34-16. Not like it was 49-7

Yep, and for the box score observers, osu had 270 total yards

I mean, selfishly, yeah I want that. But if we’re being real the best thing for college football is more than three teams having a shot at a title. There’s still haves and have-nots but it’s a bit more spread out now. There’s probably 8-10 teams who could win the title this year and it’s much better like this.

Certainly? No way. Every game is s dogfight. As has bern pointed out ad nauseam, the greatest team ever needed a miracle to beat a mediocre BC team in 2001.

This. We need to continue developing our players as the season progresses. Especially playing 7 weeks in a row. Stanford and VT are trash, but the rest of the games will probably be competitive at times. The parity in college football is real.

The 7 week run in a row is brutal. But we’re far more talented than anyone else on our schedule. This is a mental battle for our players to stay at the top of their game week in week out.

The changes that created a bit more balanced college football are the same changes that allowed Miami to benefit and rebuild the program.

The Canes would have no shot without the transfer portal and NIL.

Old heads know…WHEN, not if, Miami wins it all this year, WE will be the team hoarding all the talent. There is not going to be parity for long once Miami is back on top

 

[Cane&Abel]

Winning is not easy and trying to guess who will win is even harder … did any one hit on a 7+ leg Parlay this weekend ??

Nah man that was an *** kicking
