What All Teams/ESPN Feared

9 games isn't a turning point. Al freakin Golden won 9 with an equally easy schedule in 2013. Beat FSU and or ND, win 10, and win the Coastal. Winning 9 this year, with this schedule, should be a given. 10 is a leap forward.

These are the turning points this year for Miami:

1) Beat FSU
2) Win at least 9 games
3) Win a Bowl game

If all 3 happen this year, I believe our recruiting class will finish top 4 with a couple of major flips.

The following year:

1) Beat FSU
2) Win 10+ games
3) ACC title game
4) Bowl Victory

The fence will be dang near complete.

That should be the two year goal and by year 3, I firmly believe we will start being a constant playoff/national title contender.

Golden won 9 AFTER going 7-0 w a poor bowl showing. Winning 9 after the turmoil we had the last couple of years, with a win over FSU (that's way more important than beating ND) and winning a bowl game will go a long, LONG way. All 3 I mentioned will push momentum our way.

Actually I would add a 4th requirement for this year - frosh need to play a lot and contribute
- kids today want to see that they will have an opportunity to play and play early
- LSU, Auburn and Texas had very average seasons and landed top 10 classes in recruiting

Need 3 years of top 10 classes (where kids actually make it to campus) will put us in the conversation every year for playoffs

Besides - we probably wont be Bama any time soon however dont have to be - look at last year - if Iowa, Nth Carolina, TCU, Houston, Northwestern or Ok State lose one more game - they might have been in playoffs - all would have been one loss teams - get us close and we will get in - I know it
 
They just have to start winning on a more consistent basis. You gotta understand that these 17-18 year old kids here were babies the last time UM was good. All they've seen their whole lives is Miami being a 7-8 win team and more often than not getting blasted by FSU or any other top level team. Yeah, there's always gonna be a few local homers like Duke Johnson who bleed for their city and their school but to get these other local recruits, Miami is going to have to prove they're not just punching bags for their rivals.
