So 247 College Team Talent Composite has been by far the best predictor of where we can be worried about losses. Pete’s teams have only lost twice in the past 3 years to schools ranked lower than us by this metric. Both of those losses came in 2018 to Cal and Oregon. Oregon was #25 in 2018 team composite and we were #20 so pretty close. Cal is really the only major outlier here (2017 Stanford and ASU were both ahead of us that year in the composite ranking).
Beware @ Stanford in 2019.
Both Road games.
Stanford is as well.
At least they? aren't coming off a bye.
No bye for Stanford and it’s not on a Friday night thank Allah. But they are the lone road game against a team with top 20 talent based on team composite ranking. Every other road game this year is lil sisters of the poor.

Yeah, after seeing Arizona's loss to Hawaii I'm no longer so worried about the desert. That game was twash.

I felt the same way about ASU in 2017. So hold your horses

I don’t think week 0 football in Honolulu is great predictor of future performance. Tate (and Taylor) flashed enough that I’m still scared of that October game in the desert.
Having said that, I wonder what Sumlin’s buyout looks like. His career post-Johnny Football is a tire fire.
Only if they are the caliber of Ray Lewis and can murder the opponent's backfield.
Not Ray Lewis until they are, and not sure about the murder. At least two of the three will be studs in the NFL, maybe all three, and all three have been great at Miami.

*Post year 1 of Johnny Football.
Everyone forgets that after winning the Heisman Johnny beat his chest and didn't last long.
Sumlin went 9-4 and 4-4 in conference in 2013 with Johnny Football, Mike Evans, and Jake Matthews. His defense ranked #103 in the nation allowing a staggering 6.2 yards per play.
That performance was worthy of being fired on the 50. But instead they gave him four more years before they realized he'd never again win more than 8 games.

Quite honestly I don't see you guys winning a game
