Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast - FLOOR OR CEILING: Can Miami and Darian Mensah DELIVER on Lofty ACC Expectations?

Starting point is 00:00:00 Taking a look at the best and worst-case scenarios this coming football season for the ACC's top teams. Miami's floor looks high. You are Locked-on ACC, your daily podcast on the Atlantic Coast Conference. Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. He is Kenton Gibbs. I am Alex Dono, and on this loaded episode of Locked-on-A-C, the college football playoff committee has solved their entire PR nightmare. with a logo change.

Starting point is 00:00:38 We will talk about it. We will show it to you. But safe to say, no more troubles for the CFP this coming season because of this beautiful logo change. Apparently, the NCAA actually still has some teeth. Not an ACC program, but obviously this applies to the Big Ten. This applies to anybody. A Big Ten program is being forced to vacate wins from tampering investigations. that started about four years ago.

Starting point is 00:01:07 We'll talk about it. But Kent and Gibbs, as we inch closer to the conclusion of spring football, the ACC football season coming up has you and I both very excited. CBS Sports.com has put out, and this is based on their way too early top 25 rankings that they put out in January, which I think their way too early top 25 is awful. But for that way too early top 25, they give you a best and worst case scenario for all of these teams.

Starting point is 00:01:36 There's four ACC teams on there. And we also have our assessments for the ACC teams that are not included. But Kent, we start with Miami, who I think they put this out before the Dary and Mensa transfer. But they got Miami ranked 13th, which feels a little Fugazi in their way too early top 25. But for the ceiling and the floor for Miami, they say Miami's best case scenario, this is regular season only is 12 and 0, including 9 and 0 in conference. It's fair for best case scenario, but their worst case scenario, when we talk about the floor being high, is 10 and 2 overall and 8 and 1 in conference.

Starting point is 00:02:18 Is that floor too high, Kenton? Do you think they might have given Miami not enough breathing room there? Yeah, I think the floor is too high. And let me tell you why. When I talk about the offensive line play and all the problems that we could see there, I think that there's a world where you could see if Miami is having a quote unquote down year. If you don't get the production that you want out of your running game and you're saying, hey, Darry Mincy, you've got to do your best Cam Ward impression.

Starting point is 00:02:47 That's not going to be a great time for Miami potential. And if they're really, the biggest thing about Miami to me, the trenches. The big men, are you going to lead or not? because there's a world where everything in the trenches goes fine and this team goes undefeated. There's also a world where your freshman looks like a freshman that left tackle. And we see why the edge rushers look, you know, like it looked like a futile effort to try to get around Cantwell. And we see that during the season, right? There's a world where both of those come true.

Starting point is 00:03:23 And I think if both of those things happen, you could easily see this team be a nine-win team because I don't care how good your DVs are. If you can't get to that quarterback, if that quarterback's back there making sandwiches, filing his taxes, watching a new season of Invincible, and then he gets to go and get rid of the ball, you're going to be in for a very, very tough time. You're going to be in for a very tough time. So ultimately, I do think there's a world where Miami loses three games, but in that world, the trench play would have to be pretty bad.

Starting point is 00:03:58 We'd have to see at least, at least one ACC team come out of left field and not just shock this team, but kind of shocked the world. But then again, not even shocked the world. Let me take that back because I've seen Miami lose the teams that left us going. Right. So you lost a whom now? So there's that. You know, for someone who's been watching Miami football for, you know, essentially my entire 41 years on this planet, I am hesitant to accept the floor that high because I, in the last 20 years, yeah, I've seen Miami

Starting point is 00:04:35 historically lose a lot of games that they should win. Like that's a part of my muscle memory that does not go away that easily. But with that said, I think I'm going to agree with that 10 and 2 floor. Now 10 and 2 floor sounds high for almost anybody in the country, even for Notre Dame, who has a really good team and a really easy schedule. Overall, they do play Miami this year. 10 and 2 would feel like a high floor. But I'm going to be on board with their logic for this reason, Kenton,

Starting point is 00:05:05 that 10 and 2 could be kind of the floor for this team. The schedule is a little easier on paper this year that it's been the last couple of years. And in the past two seasons, Miami has had some clear flaws, and they still managed to come out of both of the last two regular seasons with 10 and 2 records. I mean, two years ago, yeah, you had Cam Ward who covered up a lot of problems, but the defense couldn't stop a nosebleed. And with a tougher schedule than you have in 2026, you came out of 2024, 10, and 2. In 2025, last season, Miami's offense had some inconsistencies in the middle of the year, and that, you know, played a big part in, you know, the losses to SMU and Louisville, which happened in two out of three games.

Starting point is 00:05:48 They were able to kind of correct those through the year. But now you have more weapons and you have Dary and Mensa. everything you said about the line of scrimmage is correct. Like everything you said about that is true. I do think, though, they have the bodies and the depth and the offense and the defensive line. And just based on the schedule from the last couple of years and Miami having a very complete team and they don't have some of the flaws that they had the last couple of years, I think that with this schedule where your toughest game by a country mile is Notre Dame on the road. So some folks would say that's probably going to be a loss.

Starting point is 00:06:22 I don't know if I necessarily agree with that. I think it's going to be a close game. But even if you take that as a probable loss, they're favored by double digits or almost double digits in every other game. So I can see the logic behind 10 and 2 being the floor, even though a lifelong Miami guy, that always feels a little high. I mean, listen, the thing about this, I'm not saying that this is Miami is bad and that there's, you know,

Starting point is 00:06:48 there are going to be a nine-win team. You can book it now. I'm saying worst case scenario, not including any major injuries or anything like that or anything unforeseen happening, there is a world where, again, the on-the-field product with Miami,

Starting point is 00:07:03 there have been so many games, not just where they were the better team on paper, but they were the better team for 59 minutes and 40 seconds of that game. And then somehow we sit there at the end and say, wait, did Miami lose that game? And this has happened. And abundance of times.

Starting point is 00:07:22 This is not like a rarity where it's like, oh, man, how does this happen? So you can schedule in Notre Dame and say like, hey, there's a world where you play your best game. Notre Dame plays their best game. Notre Dame wins that game. Okay. But then you say, well, where do those other two losses come from? And you could easily, easily, easily find your way into two more on this schedule.

Starting point is 00:07:45 Again, if just one team sets the ACC on fire. If Clemson is, if Dabble and his squad look like they returned to form, and you could potentially get another one there, and then one team, just one team outside of them, would have to set the word on fire in the ACC for you and say, oh, man, yeah, that was a tough loss for Miami, but that team was really, really good that year. I think that's more than possible.

Starting point is 00:08:10 All right, let me ask you because you brought up Clemson. Now, Clemson is not included in this CBS piece because they only do their way too early top 25. They don't have the Tigers in there. record-wise, what do you think is the best-case scenario and worst-case scenario for Clemson? Like, how big is that spread between best possible record to worst possible? I know people aren't going to hear this, but I think their best possible record in terms of regular season, 11 and 1, maybe 10 and 2. I think that's their best case scenario.

Starting point is 00:08:42 I think, and hear me out, hear me out. I really and truly think that they can beat South Carolina. We've seen South Carolina pissed down their leg a multitude of times in this game in particular. But outside of this as well, we've seen Beamer and his boys piss down their leg plenty. Yeah, 100%. But outside of that, best case scenario, if Vazina just comes out and proves all the doubters wrong, if Gideon Davis and company prove all of us wrong and whatnot, I mean, it's, I see a world where, you know, defensively they get turned back around and going in the right direction and all that good stuff.

Starting point is 00:09:17 it's possible. I'm not guaranteeing it. I'm not saying, hey, this is likely. I'm saying I believe they have enough talent to at best, at absolute best. They get the peak performance.

Starting point is 00:09:29 They get all the breaks. Every, you know, every punt rose out of bounds after one and all that. They'll end up in the situation where they could win 11 games. But again, I do think that that game won against LSU is a little bit too tall of a trek to climb. Well, yeah,

Starting point is 00:09:46 and I'm just looking at like the, the three toughest games on their schedule. And it's, you know, it's not a schedule of Titans, obviously, but they do have, you know, two SEC games at LSU opening game. They finish up as they always do against South Carolina. This one's a home game for Clemson. They have Miami on the schedule at home, but they'll still be underdogs in that one. So it's like, I think it comes down to do people, are people pretty confident they're going to win two out of those three? I think it's more likely to be maybe one out of those three, which is kind of where I settle at 10 and 2. And then there are other games versus Georgia Southern versus North Carolina at Cal.

Starting point is 00:10:24 There's some tricky games in there. Charleston Southern is not one of those. Home against Virginia Tech could be tricky. At Florida State, it's probably a win. At Syracuse, probably a win. Home against Georgia Tech. Of course, Georgia Tech famously beat them last season. At Duke.

Starting point is 00:10:41 And as I mentioned, home against South Kentucky. Carolina. So it's like, there's obviously, there's, there's a lot of games that they're going to be favored in, but not by overwhelming amounts. But that's, I mean, I, I, I probably see like 10 and 2 as the ceiling and then, I don't know, is seven and five? Is that too high of a floor? Uh, I probably, something around that. Now, here's the thing. I think that they have the widest ceiling the floor of all the conference, because I could see them winning 11 games. I could also see them losing six of these. I could also see a six and six season. And I know people are going to say, well, where would you get six losses from for a team that you believe could do all these great things?

Starting point is 00:11:19 If you book LSU as a loss, if you get upset by Cal on the road because we know how tough it is to play at Cal, that three-hour time difference is no joke. It is nothing easy to deal with. I mean, Miami was on the doorstep of a ACC championship appearance. They lost to a Cal team with Fernando Mendoza starting out was not very good. That, like, just objectively, that Cal team was. not very good. And yet and still, they were one targeting call away from that game going a very, very different direction. So you got that game as well. You got Miami. You could lose that game. You got Virginia Tech. You could lose that game. And obviously, South Carolina down the

Starting point is 00:12:01 stretch, you could lose that one. And that still leaves room for a potential upset against Georgia Tech or one of those other schools along those lines. So, you know, there's a lot that can happen here. they, they to me have the widest depth of like, man, your best case scenario, your worst case scenario are a world apart. I want to see where they land because last year, right, who would have thought, oh, yeah, this is going to be about a, what, a seven-win team? Yeah, for sure.

Starting point is 00:12:28 This is what Clems is going to do. No, everybody had them booked in to be the first 16 and old national champion. That's right. And lo and behold, that team was three and five before playing Florida. state three and five wow i bet dabbo wished he didn't talk about that because wasn't he the one who mentioned it about being a 16 and o first ever undefeated college football playoff champion you know i'm very superstitious kenton so as soon as dabbo said that publicly i'm like that's the kiss of death you don't talk about that brother they french kiss death that that was a hot and heavy

Starting point is 00:13:09 makeout session with death if that was the case because they did not I mean their season legitimately seemed like it was over after the Duke game it was like man are they going to make a bowl game they got to really pull off a great run to do it and they did they did but boy it was looking grim yeah well a couple of other teams that are included in the CBS list Louisville SMU and Virginia Tech also they've got them in their way too early top 25 plus the NCAA is forcing a prominent Big Ten program to vacate wins over tampering. Could this be the new normal? You want to keep it locked right here.

I host Lockdown Canes talking all things Miami.

Starting point is 00:15:28 All right. So in that CBS way too early, top 25, again, this came out a while ago. They probably need to update this. After Miami, who they have at 13, the next ACC team up, they actually have Louisville, ranked before SMU, who you and I, I think, are in consensus that SMU is, you know, our preseason

Starting point is 00:15:48 rankings a little higher, but I think Louisville does deserve to be ranked. They say the best case scenario for the Cardinals is 11 and 1 overall, 8 and 1 in the ACC. The worst case scenario is 7 and 5 and 5 and 4. So they have a pretty darn big, not quite as your spread for Clemson of 11 and 1, 6 and 6, but 11 and 1 to 7 and 5, which doesn't that kind of track for Jeff Brom where he's going to win a game or two that they probably shouldn't win,

Starting point is 00:16:17 but then they're going to drop a couple games to teams that they should beat. Oh, you're muted. Oh, absolutely. The big Jeff Brom lobby is trying to silence me, but that absolutely tracks for them. I mean, you look at Ole Miss game one. I think that's going to be a tall track.

Starting point is 00:16:35 But other than that, you got Villanova and then S&M. that's another one where you're going. Villanova has a football team? Yeah, yeah. No, I know I'm just messing around. All those schools got football teams. It's just they don't play very good football in the big East these days.

Starting point is 00:16:51 But yeah, you got Villanova then SMU. Then you got Wake Forest at NC State, Florida State, at Syracuse, Stanford, Georgia Tech, UNC, Pitt, and Kentucky. I could see it. I could see both of those outcomes because the reality. about them we have not seen. You want to talk about questions that need answer, the quarterback play there.

Starting point is 00:17:16 Yeah, Keenholz. Who has seen Keenholz be a starter as a college quarterback? The answer is nobody. The answer is so we don't know if he's going to come out, set the world on fire, do all these great things, or if we're going to see

Starting point is 00:17:31 the most unsurious quarterback play we've ever seen underbrow. We don't know. And in today's college football, even with Isaac Brown being the freak show that he is, I don't think that you can easily say, hey, I know exactly what's going to happen here. I know exactly how this thing is going to play out based upon, you know, just a running game alone. You're going to need a quarterback that can do it, especially with a receiving court that's losing some of your top guys. All right.

Starting point is 00:18:01 So I want to focus more on Virginia Tech. They do also have SMU and their way too early top 25. They have them ranked 23rd with the same best and worst case scenario as Louisville. They have 11 and 1 versus 7 and 5. But they got Virginia Tech ranked 24th. And I want to pump the brakes a little bit on James Franklin's first year. So they have for Virginia Tech best case scenario 10 and 2, worst case scenario 6 and 6. Here's the issue, Kenton, that I have with 10 and 2 for the first season with James Franklin and a ton of transfers from Penn State.

Starting point is 00:18:40 Some of them proven, some of them not so much, is I look at their schedule. It's not an out-of-conference beast, but they have a tougher in-conference run than most any team in the ACCC. So they open up against VMI and Old Dominion. They play at Maryland, which is their toughest non-conference game. So the non-conference is not a world-beater by any stretch of the imagination. But then you look at their conference schedule. I'm not saying all of these are tough. They play at Boston College, which should be a win.

Starting point is 00:19:13 Home against Pitt, which is going to be really tough. At Cal, which is obviously tough. Home against Georgia Tech, which should be a tough game. At Clemson, at SMU, both incredibly tough. Home against Stanford should be a win. At Miami and home against Virginia, which is always a war. So it's like, I can't be that confident that with that schedule they go 10 and 2 this year. I'm thinking the ceiling would be like 9 and 3 if they have an extraordinary season and

Starting point is 00:19:42 Ethan Grunkmeyer is bawling out there. I don't see 10 wins year one. I don't see 10 wins either because quarterback play is not just a question. I think that's one that we have a little bit more of an answer for because we saw Brunkemeyer last year. Yeah. We saw him. And did he look like a guy that you're like? Like, hey, he's going to lead a team to Tim wins next year.

Starting point is 00:20:04 No. Okay. I mean, listen, I know that the premise of what a lot of these teams want to do is surround their quarterbacks with the type of talent so that they don't have to be the guy they win because of. I'm not sure if I see Grunkermeyer as an upper end guy that you win with. I think he's the lower end of with, higher end of spite of, in terms of of that. And maybe you could make the argument. Penn State had a lot of injuries.

Starting point is 00:20:31 lot of turmoil, a lot of, you know, nonsense and yin-yang and riffraff going on around that program. And that's why there was so much turnover from last year. But when I saw Greta Meyer play, I never once thought like, oh, he's the guy. I'm seeing something now. I'm with you. And regardless of what Drew Aller does, he has to be the starter for the rest of the year. I'd never thought that once. So I think that 9 to 10 is a very ambitious goal for this day.

Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah, no, for sure. All right. So something that caught my attention today, and we've talked about this before, tampering, right? We all know it happens surrounding the transfer portal. You know, it probably happens, you know, after National Signing Day with recruits and everything. Tampering accusations have been very prominent. I don't think I've seen a punishment this stiff before, right? Because I think, what, a couple years ago, Florida State had assistant coaches that were implicated in tampering.

Starting point is 00:21:29 but it didn't go to the point of vacating wins. Iowa will have to vacate four victories from the 2023 season for tampering with quarterback Cade McNamara before he left Michigan for Iowa. I guess they contacted him before they were allowed to do so, and then when he hit the portal, he made it very obvious. He transferred to Iowa almost immediately. So the NCAA investigated. The NCAA said that Iowa head coach Kirk Fing.

Starting point is 00:21:59 Parents and assistant John Boudmire participated in 13 phone calls with that. That means they were able to subpoena the phone records, obviously, or get a hold of those. 13 phone calls with McNamara. They sent two text messages prior to him entering the portal in November of 2022. McNamara left Michigan a few days later and transferred to Iowa. Ferrence and Budmeyer were suspended for the 2024 season opener in a school-imposed penalty for the violations. Now, Iowa is really pissed, Kenton, because they took measures, including that one that I mentioned, to, like, self-impose sanctions. And historically, that usually softens the blow.

Starting point is 00:22:40 Like, the NCAA is investigate you self-imposed and then you hope at the end of this, they're just going to let us out with time served, right? I don't think they anticipated being forced to vacate four victories from that year. So Iowa has issued a statement, really upset with the NCAA. I don't know. There's a couple things that I take from this, Kenton. Number one, maybe the NCAA does have some teeth after all. And then number two, if you're Iowa, maybe you regret now cooperating. Maybe you should have just sued the NCAA instead of trying to self-impose and play ball.

Starting point is 00:23:12 Because by self-imposing certain sanctions, you admitted guilt. So maybe next time you just fight it. My biggest takeaway from this is somebody cheated to get Cade McNamara. Ew. What? That's the guy? A third of your season. Now, down the drain for Cade McNamara.

Starting point is 00:23:39 Hey, listen, I'm glad to see that the NCAA still have some teeth. And it's in the only place where they do have teeth, right? Like, when you think about what the NCAA does today and why they can't really stop things from happening, it's because the reality is they don't have the teeth to make things go when it's in the moment. But retroactively, they have the teeth to do it because I suspect that retroactively, old miss is going to get nuke back to the Stone Age because of what they did with Fortnelly or Fort Luke Forelli.

Starting point is 00:24:12 Yes, Forelli. I think they're going to get thrown back to the Stone Ages after the NCAA is done with them. Because they, that is, what do you mean he signed? the letter of intent was in classes going to practice and you sent him a picture of a check. What do you mean you went to the head coach's offense or office rather and said, hey, I was offered this from this other team and I will only turn over this information if you are going to pay me more. Do you not know that the head coach is a public official? He's a public official. He is a state employee. You can FOIA.

Starting point is 00:24:51 any communications by a head coach as the representative of the school. But again, when you don't have people in your circle that know these little nuances, you just go wherever the biggest check he is. And whole time, NFL teams won't care that he went, but they will care about Ole Miss and their aspect of it. So to me, that will be a better litmus test. What the NCAA does to Old Miss as they see something going on live time than this. Because with all due respect, Donnell, you tell me what bowl game did I will win that game or attend that year?

Starting point is 00:25:28 I have no idea. Do you remember? No. Do you believe they're in the Big Ten championship that year? No. Oh, okay. So like, oh, you took four wins from a year where it was like, hmm. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:38 Cool. Well, hold on. Like, how come the NCAA doesn't have, they don't have the balls to take Michigan's championship away from a couple of years ago? I mean, that seems. That's a great question. They should be vacating wins for that. Here's what I will say. Here's what I will say.

Starting point is 00:25:58 That would be the big Trump card. That would be them really putting it on the table saying, hey, give us that banner back. Stop hanging that banner. We're revoking your national championship. Do I think that that should happen in this situation? Certainly. Certainly. I have no doubt about it.

Starting point is 00:26:15 If they were stealing signs and doing all this illegal filming the other folks signs, it doesn't matter how out in the open folks' signs where or we're not, it's your job to get them legally. You can steal them. If you're on the sideline and you know every time they do this, that means they're running to the left. More power to you. They gave away the game plan.

Starting point is 00:26:36 That's not your fault. It's a different thing if you go outside of the guidelines that the NCAA allows to get them. So by all means, should they take back Michigan's championship? Yes, absolutely. On the same theme of you can do it retroactively, I just think that's a bigger ask even in retrospect. Even if we're going to get technical on it, I don't think they can actually take the championship away, but they can force them to vacate wins.

Starting point is 00:27:03 But the championship is given by the CFP, which is a different governing body. So the NCAA could make them vacate all their wins and they're still the national champions. Yeah, yeah. I wholeheartedly get that. I wholeheartedly get that. Yeah. Well, all right. Well, speaking of the CFP, they announced big changes today. We'll tell you what that is when we come back. You want to keep it locked right here. We're not done yet on this brand new episode of Locked on ACC. Folks, we're certainly not done yet with Fandul. The NBA playoffs are here, finally, where every possession matters. Every matchup is magnified in every game can swing a series. And right now, Fandual is giving new customers a great way to get in on the action. Here's what I love about it. You can bet just $5 and get $250 and bonus bets if your first bet wins.

Starting point is 00:27:57 The app makes it easy to follow the action with player stats, trends, and matchups all in one place. And during the playoffs, that extra insight really matters when you're looking at stars, role players, and key moments. It just makes the entire playoff experience more engaging from start to finish. Head to fendool.com to get started. Fandual. Play your game. Well, a lot of people complained about the college football playoff. committee last year. That TV show that they did every week, kind of a dog and pony show, all that drama, Notre Dame ranked ahead of Miami right up until the final week when they just

Starting point is 00:28:36 decided, hey, even though the data is kind of the same, now is the time to put Miami ahead of them. Obviously, as the Locked-on Cain's guy, I didn't complain about that, but I thought, you know, they should have been more transparent in Miami with the head-to-head win should have been ranked in front of Notre Dame throughout that process rather than at the very end. So needless, us to say the CFP committee is not all that popular right now. Well, the college football playoff has announced a big change as of Tuesday. No, they didn't change their selection criteria. They didn't drastically change the committee members,

Starting point is 00:29:12 but they did make some changes to the committee members, putting some former coaches, including Gus Malzahn on that CFP committee. But no, the big change is the logo. Look at that. The CFP has unveiled a new logo, they say, since its inception, the college football has represented the pinnacle of college football, capturing the excellence, pageantry, and unwavering fan passion that makes our sports so unique, said CFP executive director, Rich Clark.

Starting point is 00:29:41 Our refresh logo system builds on the success of our first 12 years and positions the brand for continued growth moving forward. They say the refreshed visual identity and logo system coincides with the CFP's comprehensive branding effort with initiatives that will continue to be revealed leading up to and throughout the 2026, 2027 season. So they like now the three-letter acronym CFP becomes a primary reference and is now integrated into the primary logo system, joining the iconic CFP football in a bold, unified visual identity. So they made the football part of the logo a little shinier. They replaced college football playoff with CFP, which makes it easier for all of us to read and understand.

Starting point is 00:30:31 And we can now march forward into a new era of college football playoff selection. And listen, we can joke about the logo. Update your logo. It's fine.
