Nope but the schedule heats up soon, starting this week with Florida State. Some teams may be down (Notre Dame) but they don't have a legit layup the rest of the season.
I've watched Miami a few times this year and IMO they are for real. Maybe they won't finish in the top 10 this year but they are on the right track. Richt has them playing disciplined, structured football, they aren't just rolling the ball out onto the court and hoping their athletes make plays anymore.
The Richt hire was, IMO, one of the best hires made in college football this past year and it flew under the radar. Miami will be an improved program under Richt and the ACC will benefit.

Yeah, Richt was way too good a coach to get fired.
How's Georgia doing without him? He spent 15 years there and only started 3-2 3 of those times.
How awesome would it be if Miami and Washington ran the table, ended up in the playoffs and met in the championship game. We could finally get that Title match we wanted back in 91'

Didn't say anything about hardware but whatever. Their games are terribly attended and yes I know it's a shock to you and others but Miami is 4th most popular in Florida.

Their message board, historically, is very busy and their season ticket base is enormous. They're very casual and tune out within a moment's notice but they're a huge fanbase.

What School has had 2, 30 for 30 and they are working on another with Miami vs Notre Dame right now.

Richt is similar to Les Miles: A guy with a long tenure and a good overall record, but he'd worn out his welcome. Georgia, like LSU, had plateaued under him and wasn't contending for championships anymore, and that's what their fans wanted, so I understand why he was released.

Don't look now but Miami's in the top ten...
