I know from reading your posts here that you have a love for Miami over Florida, but Florida is a whole 'nuther step up in college sports than Miami, including football. Yes, I do know their records head to head, but Florida from the SEC is higher up on the college football pecking order than Miami is these days. I don't think you'd find many fans, sportwriters, network executives, etc from outside the ACC, thinking that Miami football is on the same plain as Florida is. If you ask any TV network exec. who he'd want for his investment buck, he'd take Florida in a heartbeat over Miami.
ESPN has had a love fest for SEC football. They won 7 championship games in a row and earned it. Urban Mayer won 2 at Florida in 2007 and 2009, so they are more Fresh than Miami's in 2000. Florida was thought of ahead of Florida State a year or two ago too. Not any more. Miami has been under the cloud of sanctions for 3 years. Now that is gone. Miami is improving. And if you think Will Muschamp will be riding through the SEC like a knight in shining armor this season, think again. He might not keep his job.
You obviously don't listen to much college sports talk. Sirius XM is a good place to listen. What people talk about Florida is NO Offense, and they talk about and write about their getting crushed by Louisville in the Sugar Bowl and their not even making a bowl in 2013 after getting beat by Georgia Southern at home from the FCS. Now if you are a TV executive that wants to televise that crap, go ahead. Miami didn't help itself by getting crushed by that same Louisville team I realize, but at least Louisville will be ACC.
