9th in the AP Poll

It's the correct rating. We just struggled with a crap team. Win out we will be there. Still a lot of football to be played.

Beat the good teams, and none of this matters because we'll rise naturally. Lose, and they're right about us.

No one remembers where teams were ranked at the beginning of November.

****, we didn't even look like a top 30 team against a horrific UNC team yesterday.
 
Wisc is the fraud, they will play no ranked team all year, and their margin of victory vs mediocre teams is marginal
 
Have no problem with the ranking at all. We struggled to beat a 1-7 (now 1-8) team. If we beat VT this week and Notre Dame next week, we'll have our top 4 ranking. If we don't at that time, we have the opportunity against Clemson (most likely). If we're still not in the top 4 after an undefeated season with that resume, then bring out your pitch forks.

BS. They’re treating us just fine. We struggled scoring against UNC. Hopefully, this is a wake up call for next week.

And Wisconsin struggled to score against Illinois.

But they still won by 2 TDs though. We're talking about 5 point victory vs a depleted 1-7 team that had a chance to win it if not for a fumble.
 
These polls mean absolutely nothing. They have no impact on who gets into playoffs. None.

It's for fun and TV ratings.

And everyone that claims to not care about polls needs to realize that (not specific to just this season) they're ceding that we're NEVER making the Playoff unless we're an undefeated team. Because all the early polling and narrative/propaganda shaping determines which 1 loss teams get in. It's why I'm such a strong advocate for expansion to an 8 team Playoff with objective and not subjective standards for at least 5 of those slots.

Can't agree Clemson struggled all year last year and won the national championship.. when it comes to games the most important thing is to win no matter how pretty or ugly.. but when it comes to Miami that gets lost in the shuffle
 
If UM beats VTech by 1 point UM should be ranked #3 by everyone. There's no way any 1 loss team or Wisconsin should be above UM at that point.

Does Wisconsin deserve to be #4 ?
Click to expand...

No but we have seen that song and dance before. They’ll blow it.

Yep, just like every team in the Big 10 that's already blown it and still ranked ahead of us. But it's cool, no big deal.
 
We played like **** yesterday but who gives a ****, just win baby!

Clemson last year had 7 1 possessions score games in the 2016 season, fsu in 2014 had 6 1 possession score game. The narrative is different only because miami.... we are winning and still have dropped 2 straight weeks even with teams losing ahead of us including a team losing directly to a team we just beat

Lol at yet another ridiculous comparison to 2016 Clemson. Five of those one-possession wins were against ranked opponents, including Alabama, Louisville, Auburn, FSU, and VA Tech.

We don’t have one comparable win yet.

Speaking of Clemson, did you see the way they beat up GA Tech. Had a couple of our wins been dominant like that, we would get the benefit of the doubt and not fall in the rankings.

Regardless, as others have said, we’ll be in the top four if we win the next two games.

UNC, even with all their injuries, had the SAME number of active scholarship players as us. We've been playing at 73-74 players, not including injuries, all year. Yet none of you have mentioned that

Plus their QB wasn't really hurt, the coach literally just decided not to put him back in

we're not beating up anybody until we have an offensive line to do so

scares me to think what notre dame will to those golden specials in 2 weeks if THAT'S what north carolina had ready
