Are we a top 10 team entering into the season?

Almost irrelevant what our preseason rank is, since it’s bound to be somewhere around 9-14 anyway.

Only thing that matters is beating LSU.

If we do that, we are practically guaranteed a top 5 - 6 ranking going into the FSU home game in October, assuming no unexpected loss since we’ll be favored for all games between LSU and FSU

No, see you said they had better players and more of them, now you change the narrative to talk about the quality of the program. One has nothing to do with the other. I never said they weren't the better team that day, I just know they don't/didn't have better players than Miami.
 
Yes . **** we were a top 10 last season. Not on the level of the top 5 teams like Clemson , Wisconsin , Bama , UGA but as good as anyone else really. IMO we should around 5-8 .

9 sounds about right, keys will be if Malek can avoid bad plays and become reasonably accurate.
Oline must control LOS,which will make his life easier with Homer, DJ and Lingard making LB 's play straight up
against us in run game as well
A.Richards being fully healthy will be huge as well as experienced WR's and new TE's as well as talented FR WR group
think we'll be as good as last year on D D line will be great as Willis looks at last chance for nfl$$ and LB's look great Shaq & Pickney 3rd backer will be interesting to watch.....
and D backfield looks as strong as it has been in along time....
LSU and trip to Blacksburg are major roadblocks
GA.Tech is a pain but FSU at home helps...cannot let them get off the mat....

Negative, I truly believe we are more talented than them. They are a team that executes and has players that fit what they do. If we would have executed and had some calls go differently game would have been lopsided. But i will say we are in the same tier.

You're both correct. We had players with higher upside, but they had a better roster in terms of depth and maturity up and down the board.

I'd love to see them again in 2018 -- provided our OL gets its &hit together.

I think we are, the defense will be as good and the offense will be better IMO.
The offense is on par or better at every position compared to last year, except TE, which is an unknown.

Every unit should be improved vs. last year. We have no reason to take a step back anywhere. I think our Defense will be more balanced due to improved talent in the second and third levels especially if Diaz unleashes D Smith as the Striker properly.

The Offense will be significantly improved as well provided the two-headed Freshmen TE monster performs well. Better RBs, better WRs, better OL and better QBs with Perry and Williams in the fold.

Absolutely no reason why we should not finish in the Top 10 next season with 12 wins (including bowl game).
