I’m so ******* sick of this continued year in, year out BS off/pre season hype. We don’t ******* deserve it, havent for many, many years and it’s ******* tiring already. When is the media gonna wake up to the fact that no one in coral gables gives a Fvck about winning at the highest level. How many times do these media predictors that always say we’re gonna win the Corstal and of course we never do, have to get suntan U egg on their faces before that start saying prove it before we give you any hype. Smh
There’s no way the Canes make the list right?...
10. Miami Hurricanes
1 OF 10

Miami is very likely going to open the season 0-1. Not only are the Hurricanes facing Alabama (in Atlanta), but they're going to do so with a backup quarterback or a starting quarterback who is barely eight months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL.
Put it this way: If D'Eriq King leads them to a win in that game, we might as well end the Heisman Trophy debate right then and there, because it would be one of the most memorable regular-season results in recent history.
But even with that presumed loss, Miami will have at least a faint playoff pulse.
The Hurricanes should be the second-best team in the ACC, and they won't have to play the best team—Clemson, in case that's not obvious—during the regular season. Unless Florida State takes a big step forward or unless North Carolina remains a New Year's Six-caliber team despite losing its top four skill-position players, Miami very well could finish the regular season on an 11-game winning streak.
The Canes might need to do that just for the right to face the Tigers in the ACC Championship Game, though, which would be rough.
How it boils down: Miami needs to beat Alabama or Clemson—and avoid a letdown in the three months in between—to have a shot at the playoff. The Hurricanes might be one of the 10 best teams in the country next year, but that is a challenging mandate.
We have always been over hyped and ranked. Coastal darlings picked to win it yearly only to implode down the stretch. We live off our past.We’ve been the dark horse dang near every year.
