usually, the conferences with the best defenses also contain the most mundane offenses

I just came across perhaps the most amazing stat - it's dated, but I had never heard it until today.  I'm researching some teams from the past for the game I made, and I see this:

In the 80s, Miami played the #1 team seven times and went 7-0.  That's nuts.  Is that something any of you remember or recall?  

I know almost no one wins even half their games vs #1 teams over any stretch, but to go 7-0 in a decade?  Insane.

extremely impressive regardless, but how many of those 7 wins were on their home field?

again, not trying to diminish the accomplishment, but how many times was Miami ranked in the top 5 or top 3?

Many at home, I'm sure.  Also, probably always also ranked in the top 5, but that's the thing - even with those caveats, teams do no better than `~50% and they went 7-0.

'83:  vs 1-Nebraska (Orange Bowl)...Miami ranked 5th
'84:  vs 1-Auburn (East Rutherford)...Miami ranked 10th
'86:  vs 1-Oklahoma (home game)...Miami ranked 2nd
'87:  vs 1-Oklahoma (Orange Bowl)...Miami ranked 2nd
'88:  vs 1-FSU (home game)...Miami ranked 6th
'89:  vs 1-Notre Dame (home game)...Miami ranked 7th
'91:  vs 1-FSU (Tallahassee)...Miami ranked 2nd



5 games were at home
Miami was #2 in three of the seven



I believe this is a stat that somehow missed me because it's so much of an outlier.  Teams don't beat a top-ranked team 2 or 3 times in a row, much less SEVEN.  Imagine being a SR in '89...the confidence going into a game vs #1....having gone 3-0 in your three previous "big games vs #1".  It's just astonishing to me.

I do remember those late 80's teams having a great record vs #1

Sooners and Seminoles were the victims

Pretty cool British Car Show in the burbs today.  Seeing RRs from the 20s, some super cool Austin Healeys and Bentleys.  The MGs and Jags become forgotten.  Poor Triumph, and Mini.  Sparse gathering for them .

That's great, Haha, I get it, but.....what's the incentive to play OOC road games?  It's fun to rib us SECers about it, but what exactly is the rub?  Are we guilty of avoiding potential losses?  Is that the crime being committed?  Is that it?
I'm not being defensive, I'd like to have a conversation.
