Somehow they play us tough, or even beat us, seemingly every game, Dawkins is a good coach so I’m surprised at the preseason prediction.UCF was a consensus pick to finish dead last in the B12, so let’s take care of business.
The line reflects the past 2 matchup ups at Miami -8. If this were any other bottom feeding B12 school, we're 12-15pt favorites.Somehow they play us tough, or even beat us, seemingly every game, Dawkins is a good coach so I’m surprised at the preseason prediction.
Totally depends on the season they have. Unless they significantly surpass expectations, it will not be considered a good win in terms of résumé building.Would this be considered a good non-conference win now that they are in the Big12? Preseason rankings/previous year results aside...
Given our ranking, a loss at Kentucky is the only one on that list that doesn’t necessarily hurt our resume. The rest are games we will be favored inA few games we shouldn’t take lightly in non conference. This is one of them. UCF, Colorado, Kentucky, Georgia, Providence/K State. If we could come out of the non con slate with less than 2 losses I will take that.
I think they will be a decent test. Kenpom has them at 66 (we are at 42 believe it or not). They get CJ Walker back from injury last year and Darius Johnson is pretty good. BIG12 is a very good top to bottom conference and UCF flipped most of the roster so I think that might be the reason for low projection.UCF was a consensus pick to finish dead last in the B12, so let’s take care of business.

Agreed, UCF may be one of the worst teams in the Big 12 (most likely) but that doesn't mean they are a bad team... the Big 12 is a really good conference (maybe slightly overrated as I still have a hard time buying the argument that was going around last season that a 7-11 Big 12 team was better than a 14-6 Clemson etc). This is definitely a losable game if we have an off game.I think they will be a decent test. Kenpom has them at 66 (we are at 42 believe it or not).

And we have to beat ND to go into conference play +1Given our ranking, a loss at Kentucky is the only one on that list that doesn’t necessarily hurt our resume. The rest are games we will be favored in
Basically that a lot of advanced analytics sites (Kenpom, Torvik) are very low on Miami. Where as the pollsters/media generally have Miami in the 10-20 range, those sites have Miami currently ranked in the 40s.30 minutes GO CANES!
say, anyone know what LAPTOPS mean in this espn article (below)?
