I’m in Columbus for work later today and planning to make the quick hour-and-15 drive southeast. First game at OU, catch me behind the UA bench

I see where you’re coming from—it’s similar to the CFB argument. Why include two G5 teams that realistically couldn’t beat anyone in the B1G or SEC? I understand the rules that justify their inclusion, but everyone knows teams like Notre Dame, BYU, or Vanderbilt would have put up a better showing. We can take them just for the sake of inclusion, but pretending they’re truly top-25 caliber isn't good for the sport even if they run the very weak MAC. EDIT: I actually think Miami's strength of schedule got harder once MAC play started and that's really saying something.

If UA is Miami’s best win, then their undefeated record is hollow. They haven’t played anyone, and it shows. Playing someone like Yale or Murray State would’ve answered real questions BUT I think it's likely they lose worse than we did. Instead, if this is the model going forward, just schedule D2 and D3 schools outside of MAC play and call it what it is—and if a few D1 games are unavoidable, grab the weakest teams from the SWAC or MEAC. Against a real opponent, Miami gets boat raced. If UA played Miami 10 times, how many do you think UA would win? I think it's north of six!!

Anyone saying Miami deserves an at-large doesn't know ball

Exactly, well said.

Thought that internally too

Shame UB is without their best player. Would have been another good test for the team. Regardless if we win, it'l be our best win

The staff has offers out to: Josiah Graham - edge // Mammoth Le'kell Mc'Gowan - edge // Memphis Lance Byndon - edge // Morgan State Jahmek Armstrong - edge // JUCO (Independence) Jasun Ridley - edge/DT // JUCO (Pasadena City) There's surely more but that's what I found on X for defensive line

Cam Williams to Coastal 🙃

Would be a HUGE pickup if we somehow landed him. Would surely soften the blow from Hayden to EKU

Another MAC DL to TTU

Hayden to Eastern Kentucky per the above 247 portal page
