Miami -17.5. Look forward to (hopefully) watching them absolutely destroy VT on Friday night

Could get ugly for VT early. Hoping Miami keeps their head on straight and keeps their Cam Ward Heisman march going.

As much as it pains me to type, seems like Miami is due for their annual letdown game though.

Hurricane Helene could impact the VT-Miami game. The storm looks like it’s going to miss Miami to the west but bad weather on Friday night could be a factor.

O/U set at 55 with a hurricane possibly on the way could be a good spot for an under.

Drones was already throwing balls into the stands when it was 80 and sunny over the weekend.

I would love to see it. This also feels like a game that Va tech just wins for no logical reason. But maybe that’s just the UVA fan in me that thinks they win every game because they beat my team every year.

It definitely feels like a game they inexplicably keep closer than they should. Maybe the bad weather limits Ward. That levels the playing field a little since VT is a running team. But barring a complete no show from Miami (possible, but also doubtful on a Friday night at home with tech coming off short rest) it’s likely an easy win for the U

I don’t know man… Ward is a great runner, Damien Martinez is a dawg, and that is a Cristobal O-line. I think they’re built for a game in the rain.

BUT Tech is surely having a fire lit under their ass right now though, so I do expect them to show slightly more of a pulse, and you can never count on Cristobal to coach a clean game if it gets tight.

It’s amazing what more complete film on a QB will do to them.

Service academies getting the short end here because they are categorized as National Liberal Arts Colleges and ranked separately.

2 Likes

It’s because they don’t offer graduate degrees. Oh well… can’t win every battle… and they are definitely NOT liberal arts schools. Every degree is a Bachelors of Science from a service academy… even the ones you would expect to see a Bachelor of Arts. All your electives are engineering focused.

So service academies are a watered down Georgia Tech?

What @jazznutUVA would it have been better is I said the services academies are like Georgia Tech Lite?

Always in the positive spin man… ALWAYS! :smiley:

I’ve got Cal vs USC in one semi. And Michigan vs Buffalo in the other.

Man a Cal Michigan championship might end with 14 completed passes between the two teams.

Why is Buffalo in the bracket? Already got Rice. USC is the next ranked school (technically tied at 27 with UNC).

Or hmm…need a Big XII representative.

Dear Lord, Buffalo’s ranked 76, but the highest ranked Big XII school is Baylor at 91. Tulane, UMass and UConn are ahead of Buffalo, but lack conferences or are behind Rice.

Edit: didn’t notice that 11 was a split UNC/USC box already.
