My two cents ...
I want Florida at home in odd-numbered years, away in even-numbered years, i.e. opposite of our longstanding rotation with Florida State. Anchor the UF series in Week 2 each season.
We really need home-and-home series with both of our in-state rivals, regardless of current or future conference affiliations. Either the Gayturds or Semenholes should be locked into Miami's home schedule EVERY SINGLE SEASON.
Getting Priority No. 1 out of the way, I like playing Notre Dame with the occasional home-and-home (four games in nine seasons from 2016 through 2025 seems about right). Really looking forward to those clowns getting a Dade beatdown in November.
I also would like to see a future one-off home-and-homes with Nebraska and Penn State just because of our storied/infamous history together.
A one-shot USC or UCLA home-and-home series would be beneficial as well in helping maintain UM's visibility as a truly national program.
I wouldn't be opposed to home-and-homes with UCF and USF, although NOT on a regular-enough basis to establish any kind of rivalry. That would be a slippery slope and could chip away at our place in the Sunshine State's "Big Three" mystique.
I have no problem with a home opener against FIU or FAU every now and then. They are likely cemented as D-I bottom feeders in a dead-end conference.
One thing I do not want are neutral-site "Kickoff Classics" in non-college stadiums (although I can accept playing chicken**** UF at the Citrus Bowl in 2019 because that's the only way we can get them on the schedule at this point).
Those neutral-site games will always be stacked against the Canes because of our smallish fan base and Miami's geographical distance from any sort of central location. Alabama in Atlanta or Texas in Dallas? No thanks.
