I agree with this, although I would put UGA closer to Tier 1 just based on talent. Miami is a Top 25 team and possibly Top 15 depending on adjustments and improvements. The real gap is Tier 1 to everyone else. If you compare us to a team like Notre Dame, they are more dependable and consistent...

We were coming off a bye week? Maybe we are watching different teams.

We are 4-1 in the ACC, with the only loss coming to the #1 team in the nation.

No. We don’t suck compared to most of the country. That's the benefit of watching other teams and not only 2001 highlights. It lends perspective.

Teams are adjusting to us. We had a new offense with explosive runs and now they are zeroing in on the run game and exposing the WR deficiencies. Let's see what adjustments Lashlee can make during the bye week. NC State is a big game in many ways.

We've already matched last year's ACC win total, and that doesn't even get into the two G5 losses. You can point out our many flaws while acknowledging clear improvement.

And we lost to worse teams. The difference is stringing together wins. We are able to do that because we don't have gaping holes on offense and special teams.

The schedule is bad every year. The difference is we haven't lost to the bad teams yet. That's because of the obvious improvements on offense (+10 PPG) and special teams.

We played decent games last year and lost the next week. That’s what average teams do. We had the worst offense in P5 and no kicker. We are still flawed but all three phases are at least capable. If you don’t see significant improvement from last year, we are watching different games.

“53-9” was coming off the greatest team in history. We got shut out by Louisiana Tech last year. Progress for us in 2020 would look like decay in 2004. Part of being realistic is having perspective.

There is nothing to prove. Every objective number says we are above-average. Whether it's record, stats, rankings, analytics, whatever you want to throw out there. You need to rely on emotions and the "eye test" because that's all that's left. Did those eyes watch Penn State lose to Indiana...

Which half of the Big 10? Does it include the team that lost to Indiana and the team that lost to Rutgers? I see Ohio State, Wisconsin and a bunch of flakes.

Who are those second-tier teams? You’ve avoided the question for two weeks. Miami and Notre Dame are both 3-0 against common opponents. Miami is +67 and Notre Dame is +62. And Notre Dame is 5th in the country. We are flawed and vulnerable. But we haven’t been average by any objective measure...

Our record, the polls, the advanced rankings, scoring offense and scoring defense.

It was a bad performance. We were lucky to win. But people use the term “average” without considering the rest of the nation. There is a lot of bad football being played outside the Top 4. We’re playing less bad football than the other teams, which is why we’re 5-1. This is a Top 25 team to...

And I’ll ask you the same question you couldn’t answer last week: who are the best teams beyond the Top 4? You like to tell us how much CFB you watch, so I’m not sure why you struggle to list examples. My guess is you don’t want to look bad when those teams lose. I see an elite Top 4, a very...
