I just happen to remember that game because I was impressed with a couple of the Miami players and thought they could do well. Then they go and beat Duke, but they had a big slump mid conference season. Looks like they got their mojo back.

I think the tournament is overutilized to determine a conference's value. We're always looking at who made it to the sweet 16 as if 48 data points trump the other 3000 plus. There so much that goes into advancing in the tournament such as the playing style match ups or even catching a break where a Cinderella upsets a team in the previous round and you now have an easier path.

From a 2018 article on NCAA football

"Although all college footballs have stripes, the balls vary a bit from team to team. That’s unlike the consistency of the NFL, where every team gets the same ball. If a college program so chooses, it could use a ball that more closely resembles the NFL’s in size. “As long as you fall within the rule specs, you have the ability to kind of customize and personalize based on your team’s wants or desires,” Krysiak says."

So at least the NCAA is consistent in their inconsistency... I guess.

Did you ever notice the football Nebraska used to kick with? They would purposely practice with and use in games a super worn, super slick ball. I think it was some kind of tradition (or Osborne thing maybe) that spanned several coaches. I hadn't noticed it recently though.
