Real Chance We're In The Top 10 This Week

ND outside of the top 25, TAMU outside of the top 15.

UGA moves to 1
Ohio State to 2
Bama to 3
Clemson to 4
Michigan 5.

<shuffling of saturdays winners from 6-10>

Miami will be placed somewhere between 11-13 inclusive.
 
Outside of maybe teams 1-3, throw the rest of the top 30 together and anyone can beat anyone.

Rankings right now are irrelevant.
 
Why are you guys so butt-hurt about rankings? Forget it going to our heads or whatever stupid scenario old timers come up with to rationalize Miami not deserving a ranking.

Here are the facts: Four teams ahead of us dropped games yesterday: A&M, ND, Baylor, UF. They're all going to fall - some more than others, but they'll all be behind us.

Did Kentucky's performance really merit jumping a significant amount in the rankings? Maybe we're biased as Canes fans, but that game was all about Florida's "high flying" offense imploding and looking like it belongs at the G5 level (whoops, couldn't resist). Nothing Kentucky did merits a jump past 14.

What about Arkansas, they're 2-0 in the vaunted SEC! Escaping vs. Cinci at home? Failing to put Spencer Rattler away and continuously getting torched on defense? Nah, not buying it.

Maybe we don't LOOK like a traditional Top 12 team, but **** - who did this weekend? No one covered the spread. So I ask kindly that y'all haters that say "we don't deserve this" sit down and shut up. Mario ain't letting this team come out hungover again, not back to back weeks. And we all know his reputation coming out as an underdog, especially on the road (because we will still be an underdog per Vegas, maybe not 7.5 pts but still a dog). Not saying we win, but the "not deserving" moping needs to end.

#11 Miami v #12 TAMU so if ATM wins it'll be "SEC underdog stuns Miami", and when we win it'll be "UM struggles against overrated and now-unranked Aggies".

Win-win for the pundits.
Despite that narrative, I still do believe we are the better team than TAMU on paper and fortunately we get a chance to prove it this week.

Hopefully we are top 10. I’d imagine it’s easier to sell the idea that Mario is truly making Miami a contender to recruits by us being rated as highly as possible.

And sure, I’d love to “just win”, but early signing day comes before the end of the season so I’ll take all the positive momentum we can get right now.

And for the argument of “we haven’t earned it”…. Well who has?
 
Losses by teams ranked ahead of us this week:
#6 - Texas A&M
#8 - Notre Dame
#9 - Baylor
#12 - Florida

I expect Texas A&M to be ranked in the top 15. They'll want to promote Miami vs. Texas A&M as a Top15 showdown.
Game Day dropped Canes-TAM
 
As previously stated, rankings shouldn’t come out until like week 6. They are meaningless until we get a decent sample size
 
😂😂😂😂 Coaches poll still has Bama at 1

Has Kentucky up to 10 and the gaytor at 21. Yeah okay....SEC bumps doing their thing on that one.

Miami up to 13.

8 of the top 25 are SEC...33%.....

Still waiting on AP
