Miami dominates again, 34 -17!
Miami scored on every drive in the first half and went onto a dominating 34 - 17 victory over Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The game wasn’t this close.

The Canes dominated in almost all the major game metrics (total yards, yards passing, yards receiving. turnovers and time of possession.) The Hokies led in yards rushing, although QB

theKey(s)… Virginia Tech
Miami travels to Blacksburg, Virginia to take on the Hokies this Saturday at Lane Stadium. The Canes must win and win big to stay in contention for a playoff berth. Virginia Tech has had a disaster season (3-7, 2-4 ACC). The Hokies are not a good team. However, they have some quality talent on the roster. They can be dangerous. Therefore, we believe there is ONE KEY for Miami to beat Virginia Tech. STOP THE RUN… The strength of Virginia Tech is their rushing attack. Miami’s

Is it time… to breakup the NCAA?
YES! The College Football Playoff committee is now being described as “controversial”, “inconsistent”, “basis”, “chaotic”, “lying to fans,” and a “travesty.” The integrity of the selection committee is even being called into question. And not just by ACC schools. Across the country. By their words and actions, it is blatantly obvious the CFP’s selection criteria is seriously flawed, favoring the “Super Two” conferences who are controlled by the networks. It’s all about “eyeba

Is it time?
There is an old saying… “If you continue doing the same thing, you should expect to get the same result.” That’s the situation the Atlantic Coast Conference is in right now. Over the past decade, the ACC has fallen further and further behind the SEC and Big Ten in stature and revenue. If the situation doesn’t change by the time the current media rights agreements run out in the early 2030s, the ACC may no longer be viable as a major athletic conference. Looming large is the s

Miami barely moves up in AP Poll… smell smoke?
EDITORIAL - by TexCane After another dominating victory on Saturday, Miami moved up the AP rankings from #15 to #14. Just enough to still keep the Canes out of the CFP discussion. It’s become very clear the AP voters don’t think much of the ACC and Big-12. Why? The SEC and B1G own the media. ESPN and CBS/Fox promote their products over all others. There’s very little true journalism in college athletics. It’s called media bias. It’s called network power and influence. For e
