In a vacuum and in the current state of each program, yes 100%. But these decisions are not made in a vacuum. If the next round of expansion is in 2030 (nearing the end of ACC GOR) and Miami is still Miami and not the U, that improves our chances. If we still stink in football by then it will hurt our chances.

The Miami brand is hanging by a thread. A conference would look at where have you been, where are you now, and where are you going. The where have you been for Miami is great. The where are you now is not great. The where are you going is not looking great. Once you take their brand advantage away, SU is the better choice in every metric.

Pitt doesn't have a FB brand good enough to get chosen. They need to get in on other factors. Those other factors SU is slightly superior overall. But if a conference prefers a certain variable as a priority, they would be the better choice.

You are using emption and not logic. You are thinking like a fan and not like a decision maker at a college. When you look at all the variables (like a decision maker in the situation would) SU comes out pretty favorably. When you look at it like a fan and think who is the best FB program, SU looks awful.
