I read a few times this week that a win over GA Tech would vault Miami into the top-10. I just don’t see it for this week.

Putting aside the committee for a second, and just staying with the AP, you’ll see that almost all of the teams ahead of Miami have winnable games this weekend (ASU, KSU, LSU and Cal could pull shockers like IA St but I doubt it) or byes. And for the next 3 weekends Only PSU & OSU will play a team within the top-10 (UGA plays Auburn Week 11). So I don’t see much movement by the Canes.

Now the media has been selling the “Canes Back?” ... hard, but it is possible that the only ranked team we play going forward, before ACCCG, is VT. That would mean that Miami had exactly one regular season ranked opponent. The team that CURRENTLY has one loss to UGA could have at least 2 losses (maybe 3) by the time Miami plays them at Hard Rock November 11. If the current top 4 teams win out through the regular season and TCU can somehow win all their games...Miami can’t make the top 5 until after ACCCG.

If Clemson drops a game to FSU or NC State, or both, then there is a high possibility that an ACCCG winner Miami gets no part of CFP if AL, PSU, WA and TCU win out.

In addition to being completely hypothetical, and softened due to a few Kentucky Boubon Barrel Ales (8.2% ABV) before getting ready, none of this matters unless Miami takes care of business each and every week. ACCCG Champions!! Go Canes!!

Below find the schedules of team currently ranked ahead of the Canes. Teams in italics are the possible losses, if they have any.

You've heard of, "making something out of nothing." Well, the OP just made nothing out of something.
 
We win and we’re proabably about 8, maybe higher, depending on anyone else losing today.

All this irrelevant data for what?

Got to BUMP this gem of a post. This has to be a record for most L's in a single posting within 24 hours after creation

so we number 7?

yes, if we won by two td's or so we probably would have jumped ohio state and become #6

hard to believe they would have a one loss big ten team over an undefeated ACC team though when we're 3-0 in the acc

I just talked myself into being #6

osu has been curb stomping teams though, they won't jump us over them just yet.

agree. Oklahoma losing to texas today probably would have made ohio states loss even worse and would have allowed us to jump them

oh well, longer we go undefeated the more unrealistic it will be to have them ahead of us
 
Win, and we'll make the playoffs. It's as simple as that.

I'm pretty sure the year ND went to the BCS championship game and got raped by Bama they started that season unranked. You win, you'll get in.
 
Wow what a weekend! So many upsets!! I didn't even have Washington (or Clemson for that matter) on upset alert!!

OP what were you thinking? Lol This is college football bro. Ranked versus unranked means nothing, especially this early in the season when most teams have padded their records and stats against 1-2 FCS teams. Its kind of like March Madness. Anyone can be beat on any given day bro!

I am happy we escaped with a win. I underestimated how bad the injury bug hit us. We definitely missed AR15 and Nevaughn. Walton as well to some degree because he's a household name in the ACC and opposing defenses are forced to focus on the run when he's on the field, which helps our receivers. Good thing Homer stepped up; he should give us the same advantage moving forward. We also missed Redwine and Delaney.

We keep winning and the rest will take care of itself. We should be ranked #7 or #8 this week. Hopefully the players ignore that ranking and just keep balling out. Have a good day everybody.

GO CANES!!
