Miami’s resume pairs an offense that has delivered eye-catching road wins at Kent, Buffalo and Marshall and a statement home win over Akron with a broader schedule that lacks a truly signature victory to seal the case. The committee will reward those wins away from home, but will also note the defensive lapses in high-scoring affairs that leave questions about how Miami would fare against top competition. Nonconference opponents provide little in the way of marquee tests, so the remaining road dates at Massachusetts, Western Michigan and Ohio along with home opportunities against Bowling Green and Toledo are clear chances to add the kind of resume-changing result that would move Miami off the bubble.
