I dunno... I just don't see it ... I mean trust me I want to be wrong and end up in either... My thinking has always been that if it came down to the two we would end up in the Big10 due to AAU status....But again I'm just spitballing... I have no clue....

Doesn’t matter if we won the ACC or not.

Nah man, when the championship was decided by only a handful of teams at the end of the year, voted on after bowl results...Miami had an understandably small margin for error.
We were voted #1 in our first NC after having 1 loss.
We played for another in 1985 with 1 loss
Our 3rd NC we won with 1 loss.
I could go on, but then point is...with so little teams, we still had plenty of opportunity for a Title with 1 loss. You telling me, we're increasing the field to 7!!! At large teams, and the margin for error is still 1 game? But it's ok for Bama to lose 3 games because they're in the SEC? Nevermind the fact that 1 of those losses is at home, by 20 points, against a team that was in the Big 12 last year. Media bias and conference affiliation shouldn't be so strong, that some **** like that is even possible. Georgia is playing in the SEC Championship and had a dog fight with the 5th place ACC team. The "Bama ranked wins" are artificial when those teams are ranked by the same people. Duke is 9-3 and nowhere in the rankings, Syracuse is at the bottom...but 3 SEC teams are right there with 2 loss Miami? Because they all beat each other? Laughable bias.

Good news, our President is huge sports fan. He understands the power of sports. Not as good news we need new rev streams and not owning our own stadium really hurts that.

This season is a wake up call. We don't have organizational alignment. We absolutely need to leave the ACC and go to the BIG 10. That should be the directive from the office of the President at UM to the AD to be executed with approval from the BoT.
The ACC doesn't have the respect it deserves and wont get it either from the media, other coaches, and recruits. To put it in context, the SEC and B10 each have 4 teams in the CFP, which forces everyone else to fight for scraps. The top 10 recruiting classes were all from the SEC and B10. 34/34 of the 5* recruits went to the SEC or B10.
Net net - we need the respect, pedigree, and money that the B10 could provide.

All they have to do is wait until we offer to SMU ourselves and either conference would take us in a virgin nut.

I'm not so optimistic. There is no control of the future as long as the SEC (ESPN) and B1G (Fox) are in essence running things and allowing mere bread crumbs to any other conference. The ACC and Big XII are de facto G5 conferences now. They will each get their champion only in the playoff. Wins and losses by teams in the ACC & Big XII officially do not count the same as wins and losses by the SEC/B1G. The at-large bids are going to SEC/B1G schools only with ND getting one because they have only one loss and, frankly, they're ND.
Better OOC schedule? Miami had an SEC team on its schedule. Routed them on the road. The same pundits saying how well Florida is playing right now are the same saying that Miami's win over Florida doesn't count as much because it was early, even though Florida was at full strength in that game.
Better recruiting? Top 10 recruiting class 2 years ago and top 5 last year. Now that the SEC and B1G have been swinging their ****s over the past year, good luck with any ACC or Big XII team cracking the top 10 in recruiting for the foreseeable future.
Winning? Only winning the conference will matter.

Okay
ACC = weak schedule. OOC is consistently trash. Only 1 team of potential consequence per year. Bad formula. Need to beef this up. If we keep struggling against babies then our 10 win records will still be debated against nine and eight win SEC teams.
Recruiting this year is rated on par with Mario's transition class. Not elite! Very few players from other top classes are competent contributors. Clearly not getting the right guys. Not an elite recruiter.
Yeah, doesn't look like we're going to be doing that anytime this decade. 7 more years on Mario's contract?

How involved was the big sports fan in hiring JD Arteaga or Mario as the only option for HC?

Sure, pure genius, fire the DC right before signing day. That would have been the worst possible decision possible and had it happened, you would be on here criticizing the decision today.

Texas is 0-1 against the top 25 with the loss being a blowout at home and is ranked number 2. Best win is an 8-4 TAMU team.

Actually, ND is in a similar situation. If they lose more than 1 game, they're likely not getting into the playoff.
