FWIW

[CanesWooshWoosh]

I think it’s really important to rank football teams based on results and merit.

 

[TheMatador]

If I open something up and see a chunk of spots, I usually throw it out.

 

[BigDikCane]

I think we should not be ranked

 

[SigmundFriend]

Oregon looks like they'll take it now

but if wisconsin and washington lose tonight then it would be an epic saturday in terms of ranked teams going down

Bro, are you watching the Oregon/Stanford game??

 

[SigmundFriend]

I think we should not be ranked

I think you are perhaps the dumbest son of a ***** in the world.

Miami should move up a chunk of spots.

#13 VaTech lost to ODU
#14 Miss. St. lost to Kentucky
#15 Oklahoma St. losing big to Texas Tech
#17 TCU lost to Texas
#18 Wisconsin losing by 3 to Iowa (only 3rd quarter though.

Miami should be just outside of top 15 come Monday. I'm guessing #16

All in all, great weekend for the Canes.

I personally don’t care about moving up in rankings. They way we ending that game was ridiculous. We are just not demonstrating traits of a real contender. Is any one on this board certain we can beat any of those teams you mentioned whose lost or struggled? We just haven’t put it all together.

Bro, our entire 1st and 2nd team defense was on the bench. Our secondary was Al Blades Jr., Frierson, Knowles, and Gurvan.

And that's valuable real game experience for those guys. Giving up a couple garbage scores isn't as important as getting the future some real game experience.

Totally agree

I see at most 3 spots. Kentucky should jump us (undefeated) and whoever wins Wisconsin/Iowa will be in front of us. Because Miss St is SEC, they could fall in front but I highly doubt it. Duke remains undefeated and will jump in the rankings but likely behind us.

If Stanford wins, then perhaps another spot. If Oregon wins, then Stanford falls in front.

Not that any of this matters. Just keep getting the Ws.

As we should have learned last year. Rankings mean nothing. We still have to beat the teams in front of us. 1st off we should have dropped 50 plus points on this FIU squad. We labored through to 31points. Second, our reserves should be earning time on the field not just thrown out there. DJ said it best in his post game quote (I am paraphrasing).Tonight was a good win but it wasn’t up to Miami’s standards. I agree with him on that.

Just Win Baby

 

[g8rh8rMD]

Who cares? I’ll be interested in our ranking when we win a meaningful game. Until then, miss me with that stuff. Just win, baby.

 

[cubin10]

Everyone, including voters, know that it was 31-0 then our bench came in

I would not say everyone, just read some the stupid comments on here.

 

[nobeastofburden]

Kentucky will jump us. We will move up 2 spots.

hey dip ****. If you haven't noticed, the entire ACC is a dumpster fire. Miami will have no meaningful wins during the season. Moving up in the polls and getting as close as possible to the top 4 is crucial. If Miami goes to the ACCCG ranked #20 vs #3 Clemson and wins, it does nothing for our playoff chances. Don't comment back. You're a douchebag.

One game at a time.
However, I believe if we somehow beat Clemson and win the ACC we will be in the playoff in your scenario. The ACC Champion always gets into the playoff and the Playoff committee has too many incentives to put Miami in. Including ESPN producers in their ears who will be on our behalf since they know the ratings would be through the roof.

But back to reality. UNC is next.

We still don’t look like a top 15 team. God bless our DLine. They are a championship unit. Now that the bs games are out the way we will see what kind of team we really have. We should win the next 2 games by at least 3 TDs if we want to call ourselves a team that deserves respect.

 

[BoxingRobes]

3-1 with a loss to a Top 10 team...yeah...we'll be right around #15.

 

[dodaniels]

It wouldn't surprise me if Kentucky and Texas are ahead of us in the polls.
