A loss is a loss man, I understand we have much bigger issues than these rankings but the hypocrisy in how Miami is treated in the polls is ridiculous at times for sure. All of these teams outside of bama has faults and some of them have losses as bad as the ones Miami has had this year or even worse

brock, this **** has been happening since the Schnelly, Jimmy, Erickson, Butch, Cokerr,< (not a misprint) days. Dude, we beat fswho straight up and THEY STILL PLAYED FOR THE TITLE! Get used to it. We don't come from alabuma.
 
Brock I think you get too criticized, but Bro, Really? Who in the top 25 would you bet we could beat. Virginia? Wait they were not top 25.
 
We've done nothing so I don't know why y'all complaining. We lost to a Virginia team who is just hoping to make a bowl game. We almost lost to an FSU team that won't make a bowl game.

We have more losses down the road because this offense is unbearable bad and it going to get worse because Rosier will probably be the starter vs BC, throw 3 interceptions and not get benched.

Richt runs the team like an amateur. if not for Diaz Richt would be .500 as a coach here.

Should Wisconsin?

25 point loss to Michigan and only dropped 3 spots on top of the BYU loss

That’s the point I’m making, that’s ridiculous and Miami is judged differently than the rest of these schools I guess

I get your point, and you are correct. This has nothing to do with how good or bad Miami is. We are treated differently.

It's not only about who you lost to but who you've beaten. Wisc beat Iowa. That may not sound **** to this board but that's a thousand times better win than anything we have.

Miami unranked

Didn’t wisconsin lose to BYU and got absolutely blasted by Michigan last night and only dropped 3 spots? Wtf...

Uga lost by 20 to LSU and only dropped 4 spots


Yet Miami loses by 16 to LSU and drops 14 spots....

3 point loss and drops 10 spots out of the polls . Michigan beats Wisconsin by 25 and they only dropped 3 spots...


We have a perception problem and if you think we don’t then you are sadly mistaken.

I’m not even saying we should be ranked in the top 20 or anything but when you see a team like Wisconsin barely dropping when they have worse losses on the schedule yet Miami gets blasted in the polls that sh*t is ridiculous

Moral of the story: don’t keep losing to teams you should beat and you won’t fall in the polls....

I dont get it. Shula adapted to his personnel. He didnt force his system...and this system is 30 years old. This guy is a square peg round holer or however @AUcane put it.

And Don Shula was a moron for making that choice. He essentially threw away the final decade of his coaching career with a wimp team that didn't need to be a wimp team.

The first Marino team of '83 was very legitimate and still had remnants of the more physical '70s teams and early '80s Woodley/Strock teams. Likewise '84 began in promising fashion until the first loss at San Diego late in the season. The Dolphins became a pantyhose passing team in that game and never recovered for the remainder of the Marino era.

I have provided the devastating stats on Dolphin forums and elsewhere. It was comical avoidance of the running game and often led to games with 10 or 12 or 14 rushes, in an era in which that not only wasn't necessary but it was punished by the rules of the time period.

Most laughable example of all was the '94 playoff game at San Diego. Somehow fellow Dolphin fans use that game as example of all time bad beat. Meanwhile, Miami led the entire game -- often by double digit margin -- yet was stupid enough to avoid the run to such extent that San Diego actually led the rushing attempt category 40 attempts to 8. That is correct, an NFL team that led throughout somehow managed only 8 rushing attempts.

It was a very apropos ending with the missed Stoyanovich field goal and Chargers victory.

Long ago I was at the game when they carried Winslow Sr off the field in the OB and a number of games like when we played the Jets in the mud.

You made my point. Shula got to Super Bowls with Griese/Czonka/Morris, with Woodley and I believe the elephant backfield with Andra Franklin and then with Marino/Duper/Clayton. Each offense was tailored to suit the skills of what he had to work with.

Richt doesn't do that. He forces his system regardless. I remember Richt's first season when Richt was trying to force a power running game with Kaaya and that Oline and he refused to budge because it was his system and he was gonna run it gottdamnit.

There was a big battle over it on this board. I remember people putting all the blame on Kayaa and the Oline while me and @The Franchise and some others took a lot of heat for calling Richt a dawgshît playcaller for running his stubborn shîtty offense without the personnel. That's the same time when Chise started calling him "Rick." I wish i could find the threads. Nothing's changed. And his offense would still be archaic, even with goon SEC Olinemen.

He reminds me of Tom Osborne and Barry Switzer trying to beat us with their archaic teams. Unfortunately, now we're those Nebraska and Oklahoma teams on offense.

Until Miami can beat a ranked team on the road, why shouldn't we be ranked? The last time Miami beat a ranked team on the road was against #22 Duke in 2015 after the Clemson beatdown that got Golden fired and we won the game with the "Kickoff Return".

Last year Pitt, this year UVA and both of them were unranked.

They beat #19 ranked Iowa 28-17. It's Iowa's only loss. I don't care what they looked like. Because of that win Wisconsin has a better resume than us, period.
