Oklahoma City newspaper the Oklahoman, college football writer Berry Tramel ranked the 64 power five teams, non-conference schedules for 2019. Matt Smith of SouthernPigskin.com ranked the Power five programs overall strength schedule for 2019. The discrepancies of those lists were surprising.
Miami will host Virginia, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Louisville in their ACC games this season.
