Full disclosure, this doesn’t mean anything. It’s mid-September. And we looked **** good through 4 games last year, too.
But all we have to go on is the evidence we’ve been given so far.
And from what I’ve seen, there isn’t a better team in the country than Miami. I’ll wait for the next 3 weeks (2 games) to go FULL Kool-Aid, but there’s really no reason to temper expectations here. Will we win a national championship? Obviously that’s a tough ask, last I checked there’s only 1 team left standing at the end of the season. But some quick thoughts on other teams who should be in the conversation:
Oregon - just eye-test wise, this is probably the 2nd best team I’ve seen. They’re loaded and Moore looks like the goods. But they have played literally no one (Montana State, OK State, Northwestern). They play in Happy Valley in 2 weeks.
LSU - great win at Clemson, but Clemson is now 1-2. They beat Florida, but were outgained and largely unimpressive on offense. The defense is salty, though.
UGA - credit for winning, but were largely outplayed in Knoxville. Less than a 30% postgame win expectancy.
Taint - slogged through a win versus Texas. Obviously super talented but looked very pedestrian this week against Ohio.
Texas — Arch is Preston Dewey
GT - Cool story, I pray we get them in Charlotte
FSU - holler at me in 2 weeks
Miami has a QB who is a co-favorite for the Heisman. WRs making highlight reel catch after highlight reel catch. The best OL in America. The best defensive player in America. A true stable of depth at corner. I just don’t see any holes here. This is a complete roster with excellent coaching. Shannon Dawson is the preeminent kingmaker at QB in college football. You wanna go 1.1? Just come to Miami. Heatherman has his side playing fast and violent.
Again, I’ll be back after the next 2 games. But for my money, at this point, give me the Canes over anyone in the country.
