DAILY DEBATE: Who is ranked too high or too low?

[NJshoreCane]

I saw the bear say yesterday of the teams ranked 16-25 in the preseason poll, only one (Miami) finished the year ranked last season.

Obviously doesn't mean the same thing will happen this year, but most likely several, if not most, of these teams will finished the year unranked:

SMU
Kansas State
Oklahoma
A&M
Indiana
Ole Miss
Iowa State
Texas Tech
Tennessee
Boise State

I actually like most of these teams this year, but if I had to pick who ***** the bed, I'll go Tennessee, Indiana, Oklahoma, and A&M.

I posted this before, after the top 7 or 8, it's a crap shoot.
I have to find it, but I think only 8 teams ranked 6-25 were ranked at the end last year.
The numbers haven't varied that much over the years.

Just another arguing point as to why we shouldn't have polls till mid-October.

That ND ranking is gonna look silly in a few weeks.

Penn State too high.
Oklahoma too high.
Indiana too high.

Illinois too…

Too high: Miami, Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, Florida State, Oklahoma, Penn State

Too low: Georgia

So he said out of all the teams currently in the top 10 that are most likely to finish outside of the top 10 (which just means 11 or lower…), Miami is the most likely.

But he didn’t say why he believes Miami is vulnerable.

And also said that he doesn’t see Miami losing a lot of games, only one or two.

Y’all just keep falling for the clickbait…

It's a tomato, tomahtoe landscape friend.

They gotta fill airtime and porst pages.

Illinois too…

Im going to be honest, I took a quick glance at that I and assumed it was Indiana. Illinois didn't even compute.

Agreed! I think we basically are saying the same thing. Either way, Finebaum isn’t worth us getting our panties in a bunch over.

Haven’t put much thought into the full rankings but im not as high as most of the fanbase is on our roster

You just listed a pretty well thought out top 5, as well as 5 teams who are too high. You’ve put plenty of thought into this to realize there is no team 11-20 that should clearly be ranked ahead of us.

I'd like to see UF and FSU ranked 1 and 2 every year just to watch the disappointment when they fail.

 

[Golsen82]

Too high: Miami, Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, Florida State, Oklahoma, Penn State

Too low: Georgia

Put your Green and Orange glasses back on! We're gonna finish number 1!

Agreed.

We listen and we do not judge if that is what you are wearing my friend.

 

[Empirical Cane]

At least our Canes finished Top 10 in something.

 

[Sugarcane521]

It will be different rankings in 3 weeks

 

[Brains]

Put your Green and Orange glasses back on! We're gonna finish number 1!

I want to believe.

Quarterback
Offensive Line
Defensive Line
Corner

Probably the 4 most important positions on a football team. I think if you asked any coach to start a football team, and they had to build it from the ground floor, these are the positions they'd attack first. I think Miami is very, very good at all these spots. Doesn't mean some warts can't pop up elsewhere, doesn't mean we're going 16-0. But IMO when you're good to great all those 4 spots, you've got an incredibly high floor as a football team.

I can listen to arguments about the DL not being totally there, but nobody is going to convince me we're not good to great at QB, OL, and Corner this season. And I think the DL is right there as well, but they do have more to prove than the other 3, IMO.

Im not as high on the dline..Alot of this is off season projections to me. I love bain, think he’s great & mesidor/blay are solid but almost everyone else would be me just projecting.

I think we may see guys flash but our expectations is playoffs, too many projections based on nothing for me to put our room at that level this year. Talented room but they may be another year away from what people think we have right now

I was pumping the brakes last year too when people said we had a top10 dline room. But i will say our cb room could be elite and that will actually help this dline how people thought the dline would help the dbs last year

Oline never a concern, don’t know if i agree with the best oline in the country or best oline we had here since 2000 talk but mirabal won’t ever have a bad group so im not worried

QB i think beck was the best option by far, even did when people were on here begging for ewers and others lol. But i think just like alot of college qbs beck is gonna be as good as his supporting cast is.

So I think dawson is an upgrade over bobo but as far as receivers? Another group im not sold on like most seem to be and that plays a big part in beck’s performance of course, and Dawson.

Wr room seems kinda similar to dline but without a great player like bain, probably a year or two away from being what people think we have right now
