This guy literally doesn’t have Miami in the Top 25. And I’m 99.9999% sure he just forgot, he had us #6 last week. Can we PLEASE stop talking about the AP poll? It’s meaningless. Completely, totally meaningless.

Absolutely 100% this Jersey Shore reject forgot after the bender he had with Paulie D and the Situation which makes this absolutely ****en hilarious

I will say this, I think people are sleeping on that Stanford quarterback. He's got amazing arm talent but not much around him. If he keeps playing the way he has the past two weeks, it will be very expensive for Stanford to retain him next season

With Mensah probably gone and young elite talent incoming at QB id take the Stanford QB for a season

Asked : "How come Miami did not move up when they had a amazing showing and should easily be a 5 or 4th seed."


Wilner answered:

"I watched (in person) Miami decimate Stanford, and there’s no question the Hurricanes have national title talent. But Stanford has fallen so far from its glory days that voters don’t consider that a high-level win for Miami. They simply aren’t impressed — the result carried about as much weight as Indiana beating North Texas. That was my view, at least.

Stanford has gone 3-9, 3-9, 3-9, 3-9 and 4-8 the past five seasons. And it was missing three starting offensive lineman. A blowout was the expected result, so there was little resonance with voters."

I don't disagree with him...

...HOWEVER...

I'll bet he doesn't apply this same standard to all the teams he votes for...just a hunch
 
They didn't have three OL and they dropped a half dozen balls that would have change field position a bunch. I wouldn't get too excited, but we beat them like we should have, and as we know that's certainly hasn't been the case for a long time with such teams.
 
Not worried about AP poll at this point, though would likely be higher if our Jersey boy hadn’t forgotten to put Miami on his ballot.

I have close to zero respect for most in the media.

However. The mission at hand is to get into the playoffs. Don’t think we should be concerned about rankings at this point. To be quite frank, every ounce of perceived bull**** from the outside is a good thing.

Win and it’s all good.
 
on the other hand he was likely very impressed with OSU loss to Texas by one point.
a quality loss is still quality.
