I still don’t understand how anyone is giving FSU any votes.

Could Miami finally stay in the top 10-15 for the entire season and not have this blow up in their faces like we all have seen before?

We have the pieces on paper to do so, now we all know what we produce in real life and what we expect on paper often...clash

Watch Miami win by 20 plus and they somehow drop in the polls.

Same as last year when they lost a bunch of talent, and now they have a small QB that lost his job at BC. Yeah, they're going undefeated Lol

 

[TooWise]

We’re beating ND by 10+ Let’s get it!

3 ranked games? Solid. IMHO Louisville should be ranked when looking at some of these teams. Can't ask for much more in the ACC. Now win.

First, let's dispense of the idea that it could be voteS plural.

It's all about points. Therefore, to get 8 points, all you need is ONE VOTER to rank F$U at #18, and then you miraculously have 8 points.

We all know that Prison Mike could easily have voted F$U at #18 on his ballot, in order to generate some heat for his flat-lining team.

Therefore, all you need is ONE sportswriter to do the same.

CORRECTION: Pete Yanity (Ohio U, works in Greenville, SC, does play-by-play for Clemson, put Miami at #11) voted F$U at #19, and Jon Wilner (appears to be a west coast guy, writes for the San Jose newspaper, put Miami at #13) voted F$U at #25.

For Yanity, 12 of his 25 picks were considered "extreme", meaning 5+ spots away from the actual ranking. For Wilner, it was 13 of his 25 picks that were "extreme".

Wilner is consistently the dumbest AP voter out there. Genuinely should not get to vote.
