Miami Hurricanes 2016-2017 schedule

View as article
Would love if we could implement the SEC's scheduling philosophy of moving one of those cupcakes to the 10th or 11th week of the season. If we're going to play teams like that, I would rather have it late in the year so our starters have a chance to heal up.

Think it benefits us drastically that our first three games are cupcakes.

We have an entire new staff and philosophy. We need to have the kinks worked out by the time conference play starts
 
I take back my last statement. I say we win 10. Beat FSU. Lose to ND and UNC or VT one of those two. Either way I think it gets us the Coastal. I'm also looking at it and thinking we could go undefeated or only lose 1 game. Could be an interesting year. For some odd reason that App St. Game worries me. Going to be interesting to see how fast Fuente can turn around VT. Also see what the BYU coaching staff does at Virginia. BYU has been a very well coached team. Going to be a fun year everyone strap in!

Despite that crappy UNC to VT turnaround time, that's a 10 win schedule if I've ever seen one. Should start 4-0 with 3 warm up games before getting FSU at home. 2014 was a wicked environment until Golden and crew ran out of bullets (or stopped shooting).

Agree. Schedule for the most part sets up nice aside from what you stated above. We should be able to split FSU/ND and while VT will be better I think their talent level is down and won't be able to keep up with us.

UNC is the question mark for me. According to UNC fans, their new qb is better than Williams so they may have an upgrade their.

This should (hopefully) be a ten win ACC coastal winning season

Elite QB
Stout front 7
Thin but talented starting secondary


There's 8 guaranteed wins on that schedule, with two of your toughest games at home. Road game vs a shlt 6-6 VT team.

Richt better win the Coastal.
 
What a terrible job by Blake. Having your 3 easiest games and your bye all within the first 4 weeks and than having your hardest teams (Fsu,Vt,Unc,Nd) all back to back is just terrible.

Blake got lucky with Richt. I still thank Blake should be canned.
 
Strong OOC scheduling has basically been rendered meaningless at best and detrimental at worst by the Playoff Committee so I really don't care but this is the problem with Notre Dame as a pseudo ACC member. We get no credit for playing them as an actual non-conf opponent and the conf as a whole isn't bolstered by whatever success (or perception thereof) Notre Dame has when it comes time to discuss the strengths of each conf.

I got the orange and green glasses on...

will 12-0 plus a ACC champ win get us to the party?
 
There's no god **** way we win less than 10 games and I expect to absolutely obliterate our fellow Floridians in Tallanasty. Time to show those boys who the real Canes are

Week 1 FAMU - WIN
Week 2 FAU - WIN
Week 3 @ Appalacian St WIN
Week 4 Bye
Week 5 @ Georgia Tech WIN
Week 6 FSU LOSS
Week 7 UNC LOSS
Week 8 @ VT Thrusday LOSS
Week 9 @ Norte Dame LOSS
Week 10, 11 or 12 either @ Virgina, Pitt @ Home and i don't know the other team. WIN, WIN
Week 13 Duke LOSS

So I'm guessing somewhere around 7 wins IMO

Should be a bowl eligible year. Sun Bowl wouldn't surprise me, and I'd be fine w that...want to win that **** bowl one of these days!!!

The schedule has been official released but of course CanesInSight.com is always the first to break stories, I just wanted to mention that!! Also i feel that the month of October will either make or break the season for the Canes. 3 rivalry games in FSU, Norte Dame and if you want to included Virginia Tech. Miami only getting two days to prepare for Virginia Tech isn't very good but Miami will get Nine days to prepare for Norte Dame.

Weak post. Guessing the schedule 30 minutes before the ACC releases it is breaking news now......Lock it up. Great insight --- October will make or break us ---- -incredible......

The **** would I check your Twitter for? More breaking schedules? In depth schedule analysis?

Your post is an embarrassment to this site, everyone that worked to build it up and every poster here now. Pete's brow is rolling over in its grave.
 
Tough from a situational standpoint. Fourth consecutive season with a road Thursday night game, compared to zero at home.

Also four road games in a calendar month, between October 20 and November 19.

Obviously it depends on how good we are. Right now it sets up as a long stretch from Georgia Tech through North Carolina State in which we wouldn't be favored by more than 4-6 points in any game, with the possible exception of home to Pittsburgh.

Games against comparable talent normally include so-called surprise losses, that is if you consider a loss as a 5 or 6 point favorite somehow a surprise.

We need to bump our power rating at least 7 to 10 points from where it has been. If so, the optimism is warranted.

7 wins, really?

10 wins at minimum, book it

Haha I appreciate your optimism, friend, but 10 wins would be quite a jump

We're not at Clemson, FSU, UNC, or Notre Dame's level in the ACC as it stands today. Fact is we can't recruit the kind of depth they are able to recruit

This was an 8 win team last year. We have big ??? at multiple positions aside from QB

I think ppl should be more realistic w their expectations and support the team

Unc has no depth and are lacking talent at every level on defense. Unc does not recruit on miami level and we have more talent than them. Fsu barely beat golden the last 2 years and you don't think richt can beat them? This team definitely has enough to win 10 games.

Why do you guys do this to yourselves EVERY YEAR? This is 2016...you gotta let the past be in the past and support the new Miami Hurricanes

Setting up these unrealistic expectations and then when the Canes can't meet them, yall melt down

7/8 wins and a bowl victory is a reasonable expectation

Just support the kids who want to be here, go to games, root us on to win the coastal which we have a great shot to do now with a new upgraded staff

Be fair to the kids out there giving their all is what I'm saying

Way too obvious. You need to ease it back some.
 
Since this is the official schedule thread why is the actual schedule no where on page 1 or 2?
