Is not elite. Nick Baumgardner from the Athletic doesn't include Miami's O-Line in the top 15 in the country. Who chooses these writers. What an idiot.

Top 15 O-Lines

Virgina, Cincinnati and Arkansas are all better.

People still pay attention to them? I treat The Athletic like SI and Yahoo and that Alex guy who "reports" on us. ALL A JOKE.

This is what happens when lazy writers use statistics without taking into account who they played. He also writes some garbage from spots information office press releases to justify each rank.

Well his list could take a major shift after this week.

PSU oregon
FSU uva
OSU uw

How the f does Cincinnati or Arkansas make it?

This guy must have missed the Miami games vs top defensive lines that we pushed around for four quarters. Some nfl mock day one picks did nothing against our OL!
 
lol. Oregon has played literally nobody. They always have good OLs so I'm sure this one will finish near the top but the best team they've played is 1-2 Northwestern and they finished with under 400 yards that game.

Ditto USC. Best team they've played is Michigan State. Etc. Etc.
