Right this minute I’ll say Miami

However, they have to go to North Carolina next week.



LOL. If they are the best team, going to North Carolina should not be a worry.

I'll actually agree with High C - it's a weird place to play and they are among the most schizophrenic teams in college football this year. They've got some dudes - Thurman and Shipp on offense, Watson and Jaoude on defense (for a point of reference, they are 31st in team composite talent right along with Kentucky, Texas Tech, SMU, Minnesota, Iowa, etc.). That Clemson game was illustrative: they dominated Clemson for long stretches of that game until the lightening break, then they looked like they forgot how to play football. They had a decent three game stretch going there where they played us pretty salty for long stretches of the game, beat Pitt at Pitt, beat a decent Duke team in Durham, then of course turn around and lose to an awful Syracuse team at home. Edwards is awful on one series then a world beater the next. Belichick and Petrino can find the holes in a defense with a little preparation.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they give Miami a game, and that's to say nothing of Miami's quality; Carolina is just a strange, quasi-dangerous team (against both themselves and other teams) this year. Would be more likely if it were a sleepy noon kickoff instead of an ABC primetime game, but nonetheless.

Not sure there's a case for a few teams but this reminds me of the 2007 season hopefully this means we're going to have a wild playoff this year
