Hell, if Miami calls a different play, fourth and one against Georgia Tech, they could be undefeated right now, really. But look, they had a 21-point lead. That's supposed to increase your margin for error. You were running however you wanted in that game. I don't know why they didn't turn to the run game. Maybe we got infatuated. It's not like their offensive game plan was lacking.

Chris Cody, you actually have some numbers here on the defense question that Dan posed.

Yeah, I think if you look under the hood, you're going to see individual instances, whether it be that Georgia Tech game here, this recent game in which they're just really bad at doing a certain thing. And I understand what I've been complaining about is just be conservative on defense, play complementary football, just be in zone the entire time. But when they did go into zone...

And when they have all season long, it's been a disaster. I don't know if they don't practice it, but you've got blown assignments all over the field. No one knows where they're supposed to be on zone. So I understand why Lance Guidry is like, I'm just going to keep doing what I do.

It's really unfortunate because Miami had a legit shot this year if they were capable of figuring out that defensive side of the ball. And they just blew it, and they're going to miss the CFP because of it.

Okay, well, we'll see tomorrow, though, with the CFP. It could all change.

If we're applying that measurement to losing late in the season and losing as a big favorite, then you could write off the SEC teams. It's just, they're not. You'll be tilting at windmills. I think...

On the surface, you can hold up Miami's resume, and you could look at the losses and say they've lost by a combined nine points, even though if you contextualize the Georgia Tech game, that should have been a two-score loss. They kneeled at the end zone before to just milk the clock.

No. Vanderbilt and Oklahoma, those are trash opponents. Those are bad losses. South Carolina had bad losses. Right. South Carolina better wince. Yeah, I understand. But they also have one additional loss, too. So I hear you. You have a winning argument.

I think that with the Georgia Tech-Georgia game, I think that was pretty perfectly analogous to what I've been saying all year, which is, yeah, it might be true that the SEC is the best conference, but it's also wildly overrated. The gulf that was there in the 20-teens is not there between these two conferences. But ultimately, Miami had a play-in game, and they had a 21-0 lead in it.

And I could parse like nine points on the road. That's a tough, tough L. Anybody would have said 10-2 gets you at the very least to Charlotte, gets you into the CFP. It didn't. If you apply the state of the CFP right now, we'll see if the CFP does... What many are expecting, which is last few weeks, they haven't given a crap about this SEC narrative.
