Personally I do not believe that Miami's schedule is favorable (which was the premise for the thread-starter's position).
They could lose at home to Free Shoes, lose on the road to Louisville, lose at Georgia Tech and at home to Virginia Tech. Drop the ball against Virginia away and at home versus Boston College. They might in fact not even make it to their conference championship game.
I do not buy into the resurgence argument either - rebounding from humiliation in the Peach Bowl. Teams seem to get much more of a boost by finishing well, even if their season was so-so, than they do trying to overcome a gutting loss. Particularly a loss which reveals much about the team's lack of intensity and exposes the coaching staff's lack of guidance and player development.
The question marks in Coral Gables are massive. Miami may make a trip to a turn of the year bowl, but not to the desert.
