Week 12 Games - Nov 16th

This is exactly what Lashlee was talking about.

It's actually a really difficult conference - lots of mid teams that can rise up for any given Saturday.

You lose in the SEC and it's a good loss cos everyone is apparently a juggernaut. You don't get that same leeway in the ACC - you drop one against an inspired Stanford at home and suddenly you're a fraud.

True.

Perception is reality.

But he isn't known for having his guys prepared for big games. Oregon seems better off. We will see. No help forthcoming from other teams it appears. Miami is going to have to earn it.

It's the opposite, Cristobal is known for dropping a game or two he has no business losing.

He gets his teams up for the big games. His big problem at Oregon was Utah had his number.

Everyone *****ing about Mario losing to GT. We're 9- right now.

Kelly is 6-4 in year 3 and has just lost to a bad UiF team.

It could always be worse.

season has been fun and a big success, but I think many of us have a bad feeling about Syracuse because of our defense. If UM doesn’t win the next two, we the miss ACC championship and playoffs, and would have wasted Cam Ward. Even in 2017 we didn’t need to beat Pitt to make it to the ACC championship or the playoffs. we had spot in ACC championship locked up and a win put us in the playoffs even with the Pitt loss. Sucked as a fan but in big picture the L wasnt that harmful.

We have to win 3 in a row to make the playoffs. That’s not going to be easy.

I actually don't think we win the next three games.

Teams have worked out how to slow down our O and our D hasn't improved one jot all season. We'll drop at least one of them, sadly.

We'll see. Everything is a big game from here on out. No favors for Miami were done. We will see if he is the man for this job or not.

ACC network just put up a stat of the ACC's record against other conferences this year.

They're 2-5 against the SEC with 4 games to play. They genuinely might go 0-4 (GT v Georgia, Clemson v USC, UiF v FSU and... Louisville v Kentucky [I think]).

Some might try to spin it, but if that happens Cristobal’s seat should be white hot.

Heisman level QB with top 5 talent, and UM can’t make the championship game because the recruiting and coaching on defense? That is a catastrophe. This is year 3 in the free agency era. Being this bad on defense is inexcusable.

We'll have won 10 games in Year 3. His seat wouldn't even be lukewarm.
