Be honest with yourselves. Take off the homer glasses, and put down the Kool-Aid. The ACC is mediocre at best. The Big East is mediocre at best. Neither conference has a powerhouse school at this point in time. Personally, I would slot the ACC slightly ahead of the Big East. Cincinatti is a good program but it's only a matter of time before Brian Kelly is swept up by a big program with a coaching need. West Virginia has lost Pat White and I don't know what they have coming in. I know they have Eugene Smith who is a Florida native coming in but Miami didn't even recruit Eugene Smith. Miami obviously recruits a better athlete than any school in the Big East. That's a fact. We just do. The Big East mostly get by on schemes to beat the bigger better athletes. And it works for Big East schools. If it works, it works, so use it. I'm not discrediting how Big East schools get their wins. We win with speed because we recruit the bigger faster athletes in the country and we recruit the country whereas most Big East schools only recruit their area. And that's fine.
But we'll find out who is ready to play on November 28th when Miami travels North to play South Florida. I fully expect South Florida to come out swinging and hit us in the mouth early as they'd like to lay claim as one of the top programs in the state. I still say South Florida ranks 4th despite the fact that we have been in a recent skid for years and South Florida has been on a tremendous upswing. But in the end, we all know that Miami will get back to the top of the state.
