So national rankings for Miami per PickSixPreviews...

Miami is considered elite (top 15) at WR/TE (11), Oline (3), Dline(9) DB (13). I know some will disagree with the #Canes not being ranked at QB and RB. But hey, it's just one mans/publications opinion. But Pick Six has a really good track record that I respectNow keep this in mind, Brett Ciancia has Miami in the playoffs.

There's no anti-Miami bias here./ And last year he had Miami ranked in every category except -- defensive back (yeah, he nailed that one)

Just my thoughts (and yes, Im a biased UM fan), if the Carson Beck of '23 shows up, he's an elite college QB. Also, the running back room is good. Finally, the schedule is favorable (although Im not a fan of the two early bye weeks and the back-to-back roadtrips into cold weather to end the season.)

if Carson Beck of 24 shows up, that's 28TD's and 12 INT's at 64% at nearly 3500 yards...with a good running game and an improved defense that would be fine.
 
Brett is one of the best in the business. Had us in the playoff last year too,

We need a couple kids to step up; but so does basically everyone in the country.

I hate that our hardest game is week 1. Love that it’s home though. Just gonna take a lot to not get too high or too low after that one, but it’s a long year.
 
I thought QB and RB should be top 15, RB more so than QB. I was surprised at how high he had the receiver group. There’s talent and potential there, but a lot of unproven guys. Had us 12th last year so moving up to 11 is surprising.

Was nice to see someone not putting UF’s o-line ahead of ours, which is just insane.

He’s also really high on Toure.

Has us #9 nationally as a team, for anyone curious.

Does he not have Beck a top 15 QB? That’s tough. Not sure how much stock you put into backups when doing a QB room based on the nature of the position.

Yeah it’s a little odd. He has our QB room 4th in the ACC. His 1st 2nd 3rd team QBs are Klubnik, King, Jennings. So he thinks Beck is 4th best behind them.

He has us 7th in the conference in his RB rankings. I don’t think that’s too far insane if you’re a national guy. Fletcher isn’t a special talent, or at least he hasn’t shown that in 2 years. Lyle didn’t play much last year. Brown is an FCS kid. I think at the end of the year this will look a little silly but right now if you wanted to put the room at 4th or so I think that’s fine.

Des Reid, Isaac Brown, Jamal Haynes, probably Duke Watson, Des Claiborne all all kids who most national pundits would take before Fletcher or Lyle.

I’d don’t agree with having FSU 5th and us 7th. Roydell Williams is average as ****, Kam Davis looked ok but didn’t play much and got hurt, and Kromah is a true freshman. Is the Sawchuck kid they got from OU any good? They have high ranked kids but Fletcher has been more productive than anyone they have.

Clemson, South Carolina and FSU will have new QBs. You never know what these teams will look like a year from now.

Of course, so will the Canes.

Weird that they would rank our WR room that high and not the r RB room. Regardless of whether or not any of our guys is a superstar, Fletcher is a proven P5 running back and Lyle was very good in limited opportunities. He also got playing time against good teams last year so it’s not like he just had huge games against FAMU and Ball State and did nothing else. No way you’re going to convince me that 6 ACC teams have better running backs than we do.
