#485: Miami Season Predictions | The Catholic School Teacher

Ro, Scoop and Toast finally put their names on the board with official Week 1 through Week 13 predictions for the Miami Hurricanes—and yes, everyone lands on 11-and-1. The guys react to Miami's No. 7 preseason AP ranking (with one lone first-place vote), argue over which other top-10 team is due for a letdown, and make the case for why the Canes might actually be the most underrated team in the country. Also on deck: Jordan Lyle's arrest and what it means heading into the season, Cam Vaughn's exit from the receiver room, Florida State missing the AP Top 25 for the fifth time under Mike Norvell, and a look at Darian Mensah's numbers against the blitz. Shannon Dawson talks tempo and explosiveness, the guys break down an offensive line that lost a wave of talent to the NFL, and it all builds to the biggest question on the schedule: does Miami survive the trip to Notre Dame? Toast also announces his first game as a high school defensive assistant, the guys settle old business from last year's predictions, and there's the usual sponsor reads and detours before the season actually kicks off.
