Win consistently in the Big10 with expected trips to the playoffs..............
I agree, except that 81 team should've played for the NC (if not for BS calls/non-calls) in 2 games that yr. UM would've dragged Clemson.What the majority of today’s Miami fans fail to acknowledge is that for the last 20 years or so, we’ve been what we were pre 1983 - Irrelevent and mediocre at best.
After we won our first national championship in 1983, we became a revered football program because of our consistent winning and the way we won. To be able to say “We Byke” my question is what will the target be? # 6? Multiple consecutive 10-11-12 win seasons?
We didn’t get to where we were in the glory years in 1 or 2 seasons. It took many years of consistent winning and an unprecedented (at the time) run of national prominence. I’d be happy to be relevant again in the short term and revered again in the long term.
Agreed brother! That is the temporary answer. Upon entrance into the P2 the answer is simply making the College Football Playoff frequently. Winning the actual conference championship frequently would be nice. Like I said though, college football has changed and it will be incredibly hard to win mega-conference championships frequently. Even harder to win national championships.I do not like this answer as it implies we are staying in the ACC....................
When we stop arguing over "close losses" to unranked teams that would've got them in the Life Wallet Tropical Park Bowl instead of the New Era Fraggle BowlI keep seeing the media saying "Miami is Back". There seem to be a lot of different idea's of what "Back" means.
To me I believe Traditionally "Back" meant in the national title conversation. To be in that convo we needed to finish with 1 loss or less and top 4 sometimes top 5-6. We played for 10 National Titles from 1983-2002 winning 6* .
I believe with the new Playoff setup you could technically be back if you finish in the top 12 but I expect it would be somewhat rare for a 12th ranked team to win the playoff and win it all. Back to me would mean finishing in the top 6 of the 12-team playoff and at least Split the rivalry games if not win both this year.
I realize some people define back as winning it all but realistically we have only been back like 6 times lol. I think being in the hunt is really what we aim for and understand some years we will win it all and some years we won't, basically like our status from 1983-2002.
We got no ring. 6th ring or bust.We won that in the Fiesta Bowl. Terry Porter be damned.
