But that's what Indiana, like almost losing to Iowa and almost losing to Penn State and playing like an absolute dogfight with Oregon in the regular season.

I don't cover Indiana.

I'd imagine they would say that made them better for the postseason because they learned some stuff about themselves.

It wasn't just that Ohio State won every game and played in the regular season last year.

It's like they didn't have to break a sweat in winning every game they won.

Yeah.

Miami, for all of the reasons Matt started to kind of lay out there.

I just think the ACC is bad.

I went through Miami's schedule and tried to say, oh, who might they lose to?

And

It's like at Notre Dame, and then I don't really know what else.

At Clemson, I still don't see at Clemson being a test right now.

Virginia Tech at the end of the year, if James Franklin has some stuff figured out, maybe that's an interesting game.

But I just think, especially compared to those other two, like Indiana and Oregon both play Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and Washington.

Yeah.

I could see both teams certainly being 11-1.

But that just seems like there's a lot more potential kind of pitfalls on that schedule than there are on Miami's.

And I think Miami is...

not super high in returning production, but you bring back Malachi Toney, you bring back Mark Fletcher, I think you probably upgraded a quarterback with Darian Mensah.

I think there are a lot of young guys on that defense who weren't superstars last year but played a decent amount and who are now stepping up, and I think that defense will still be pretty good, but it's primarily a function of just how bad the ACC is right now that I think Miami, for me, comfortably is the one I would take out of these three teams.
