Still unranked? Jfc

[Miami04]

Aren't we still the only ACC school ever to win the regular and tournament championships and not get a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney? They have absolutely zero respect for us

And a year before or 2 years after (can’t remember) highest rpi to ever be left out of tournament

Trust me, they play better unranked.
Nothing is worse, for a fan, than your team losing their first game as a ranked team.
Remember, all that matters is that you are one of 68 teams in March.

This team needs to focus on winning and not ranking. Let's beat FSU and UNC this week and just continue to play good basketball. The ranking will work itself out in the end if they continue to win.

I believe that was the year before.

 

[Canedude08]

I believe that was the year before.

That was the Angel/Sheldon first year. Miami was left out, but a mediocre as **** UCLA got in merely because of name recognition.

Penalized for early season blowouts. On January 10th it does not matter.

Illinois hasn't beaten a ranked team, has 3 losses, and was blown out by Cincinnati but they're ranked 25th. I don't see how we aren't above them when we were at least blown out by a top 25 team.

Yes. The conference does not want Miami to be better than its sacred cows.

I was afraid of this, thought if Wisconsin lost we might crack it.

Error, I thought Wisconsin beat Purdue the week before so that wouldn't have mattered.

Honestly, the tobacco road schools hate our guts. The sad part is that schools like VT and FSU won't stand up with Miami against those schools.

UNC maybe, the others couldn't care less about Miami. They busy hating on everything UNC.

It is the NCAA that screws us, has nothing to do with the ACC. FSU ran the entire conference for how long in football?

The NCAA is keeping us out of the AP poll?

Right because the ACC doesn't want Miami ranked? You serious clark?

Does the NCAA vote in the poll, rebecca?

Does the ACC? AP stands for Associated Press no?

Correct. What do Associated Press voters cover?

 

[Cribby]

Hock is ripping the poll voters. I though we would land 12-15ish. This is total BS!!!

15 should've been the absolute lowest. I get thinking this isn't one of the top 15 teams but there's no denying the last nine games and winning at duke. In the moment what 25 teams has Miamis resume? Regardless of the bad losses early.

 

[nobeastofburden]

I guess only the ACC, according to you.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Sure. Or maybe just a crap ton of them. Enough that if they voted for Miami to be in the top 25, they’d be in.

Well of course we would be. To say it is the ACC ******** Miami out of the polls is ridiculous. Especially with UNC down, the conference needs Miami. If UNC was ranked and we weren't, the argument would make sense. WF was 11-2 and not ranked either two weeks ago.
