Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1842758, member: 628"] I'll (respectfully) disagree with your disagreement. Those schedules were made when Miami was among the greatest programs in college football history. And we scheduled THREE major conference teams OOC in each year. That's at least one too many, probably two. Granted, I didn't complain at the time, so I'm applying 20/20 hindsight. But it's clear that we were scheduling with an independent mentality years after we were not an independent anymore. And FWIW, in '99 VaTech made the national title game by going 11-0 against a schedule where they beat four opponents ranked 16 and higher at the time they played them (#24 UVA, #16 SU, #19 Miami, #22 BC). Seeing as three of those were in-conference, I suspect compiling a similar resume would have been fine. [/QUOTE]
