9 sec teams gtfo

They obliged, then reentered the room because it’s actually 10 SEC teams ranked.

 

Maybe if we looked better than WF for more than half the game?

 

****. They bagged A&M lol.

Would not have mattered. Ole Miss was going to jump ahead of us even if we'd won that game 100-0, and no one ranked ahead of us lost.

 

No more rat poison

I still forget Texas is an sec team, even though they whine the most about it

 

Yeah, you knew that was coming. TBH we looked so-so for the majority of the second half, you can't be shocked.

Had nothing to do with our performance

Keep thinking us getting jumped had anything to do with our game

Bingo. Never ceases to amaze me how little ball outside of Miami our fans actually watch.

ND won their game by 17 and they struggled too. Why didn’t they drop. Wake is better than MSU

The Media loves them..beating one of the worst teams in the country by 17 was "gutsy"

 

All told, I’m not surprised. Various refrains in the past have been, “Beat the teams you’re supposed to”, “Win and they’ll come”, so on and so forth. I guess the new one is play like you’re supposed to (or they’ll drop you faster than a dime).

 

Do not really agree with new rankings but hopefully it serves as a motivator for players and staff. Get healthier and fix this interior OL and we will be fine wherever they rank us.

 

Ole Miss

 

Miami is going to have to slog through their schedule and beat whom they are supposed to beat and do so outside the spread to get any favors from these people.

Winning at South Bend will be mandatory. JMHO. The Committee will want to make up for ******** the Irish last year.

That’s a given! They will do anything to keep Miami out the playoffs.

 

Clockwork. Will be my last time visiting this thread, don’t want to drown from the tears.

 

You guys get too worked up over a poll that has no impact -

 

Take the names away… #8 beats #7 at home by 8 points and they jump 4 spots?

 

Ole Miss deserves to be highr than ND and UGA. Neither have played anyone.

Ole Miss should be #1 if the games actually matter.

 

If you are a rational Miami fan you see the cracks. Unfortunately they are cracks that will not allow Miami to win it all this year. We are a second tier SEC team from years past or the best seriously flawed PAC 10 team you remember from back in the day.
The D is barely above average.
The O is explosive with undersized guys everywhere (Fletcher is the exception).
One win in the playoffs will be a great year.
