A large portion of the Miami fanbase would agree with RAF about the goal for the season and what should be viewed as a success. It’s hard to equate Miami’s season is as simple as getting to the ACC Championship game to judge the season as a success or a failure.

If the Hurricanes finished 10-2 but failed to make the ACC Championship game, the season has to still be viewed as a success. That is very conceivable. If the Hurricanes lose to Virginia Tech and one other ACC game they would finish in a tie with the Hokies for the ACC Coastal Division title. In that case, Virginia Tech would go to the ACC Championship game.

Should this scenario come to fruition the Hurricanes would have improved on their record from last season and play in a better bowl game. Mark Richt clearly has the Hurricanes on the right track.

Every college athletic program is in flux every season. Rosters are always changing due to graduations, transfers and injuries. The make over of Miami’s roster in the 20 months that Richt has taken over the program has been impressive.
