Against Stanford, Pittsburgh, NC State and Syracuse, the Hurricanes have beaten three of those four by wider margins than Notre Dame.
While you were sleeping, on the West Coast Notre Dame did what it was supposed to do to Stanford. The Irish rolled the Cardinal 49-20 in Palo Alto and kept their playoff push alive. But for Miami fans locked into the Fighting Irish vs. Hurricanes debate, the bigger story is this: the win actually made Miami's case stronger, not weaker.
