Hey, I appreciate the reply but you missed my question or I didn't explain it well. I agree the best team doesn't always win, which is my opinion of a couple games in the 6-1 record that you cite (e.g., GT taking a knee/safety on a freakin' kickoff in a Miami OT win
).
To try and clarify, if GT wins tomorrow, how will you decide if 1) GT just flat beat Miami or 2) those "factors" are the reason Miami lost?
Is there a way to differentiate in your mind? Or are you convinced those "factors" are the only reason Miami might lose? Full disclosure: I have no bones to pick with Canes fans, but I'm asking because it seems like a preemptive excuse.
Along the same lines, since you brought up Miami's 6-1 record vs. GT as a reason to believe Miami should continue to have success against GT.:
- 2015 - GT had about 10 players out, conservatively, and lost their starting QB in the 1st quarter
- 2016 - Miami had a bye before playing GT
Is it fair for one to conclude GT had the better team those years, but the "factors" worked in Miami's favor? How do you decide?
