People want to see how we handle prosperity this year. We sh*t the bed in the middle of the season last year and only got in because we beat ND head to head. We need convincing road victories against Wake and Clemson and, of course, the Trap Game at Chapel Hill.
 
We are only behind Texas in first place votes, yet we're ranked 5th. It's pretty wild when you think about it.
Where the horse**** comes in. Can see some love for Georgia and Indiana, they have lived up to their billing the way we have.

An issue with rankings is that they keep pace with what is presented as the aggregate before them, instead of, “I have my top 25 preseason and then I’m adjusting based on merit from where I had ‘scouted’ and ‘ranked’ each of these to be at the onset of the season.”

If Ohio State was my #5 and Texas my #6 before the season and after Week 1 then I have a clear metric where they should move to; instead most of these folks (who don’t pay attention) is reacting to the new poll weekly to decide up and down.

We are only 14 points behind Indiana. If Indiana has any struggles in the next couple of weeks, all we would need is for 8 voters to flip their Miami-Indiana rankings and we would move to #4.

We just need 8 out of 68 voters to move us over Indiana. It could happen by Clemson.
 
People are stressing over early-season poll math too much. Just enjoy being in the top 5 and let the resume build itself over the next month.

The context is that we’re sensitive to a long term bias that turns into a beauty contest late in the season over who gets selected into the CFP. A bunch of 3 loss SEC and BiG teams will try to jump a 2 loss or even a 1 loss ACC team based on their strength of schedule which is influenced by these early polls.
 
Need us to be top3 going into the nd game, God forbid we lose and they try to drop us out of the top12
 
I want to be ranked behind ND when we play. I hope it’s 1 v 2, but I think UGA will be ranked 1.
Trust me. We’ll be behind ND going into that game. That’s if things work out as they should. The National Media wants to glaze CJ Carr in the worst way possible.

The more disrespect Miami gets as that game approaches, the better for our locker room.
 
We should be #2. But in due time we will claim our spot at the top
It’s better if we sneak up on people in December and January. I want those people in Austin and Columbus to be shocked again.
