A new schedule brings new expectations.
The Miami Hurricanes learned what their new ACC 10-game schedule would look like on Wednesday afternoon.
We want to know if the new schedule has changed your expectations of what to expect for hurricanes in 2020.
The biggest change to Miami’s schedule is the addition of a road trip to Clemson.
While the dates of the games are not known at this time, here is the breakdown of the home and away ACC games that UM will play this year:
HOME: State of Florida, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Pittsburgh and Virginia
FAR: Clemson, Louisville, NC State, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest

So our main question in this article is have your expectations changed with the new schedule?
What is the minimum amount of regular season wins (if UM plays 11 games) that is acceptable with the new schedule in 2020?
Next, what record did you expect with the original calendar?
Next, is this new schedule more difficult, the same, or easier in terms of difficulty?
The final survey question: Which team under the radar represents the most difficult matchup in your opinion?
The season will begin the week of September 7-12.
Miami athletic director Blake James announced Wednesday night that the Hurricanes would play their only conference-free game against Temple, UAB or Wagner.
All 11 games will be played for at least 13 weeks and each team will have two open dates.
