we all know its complete BS that miami isnt at a minimum ranked #2 . there is not a single rational argument that can be made otherwise. we can all take solace in knowing it still doesnt matter at this point, but the blatant disrespect for miami is what infuriates me.
after thinking about it though, i realized they did all of us a favor. this team has thrived while playing with a chip on their shoulder. call it the 'us vs them/us vs the world' or whatever you like, this team has demonstrated strong leadership and an ability to find meaning in preparing for each opponent. has it been frustrating to see us play down to our competition at times this year? yes, but i also look at some of the best teams UM has ever put on the field and let's be honest...those teams had a penchant for playing down to their competition level at times. the fact of the matter is: those teams WON, and so has this team. the committee wants to give clemson a pass for losing to a 4-5 team, yet penalize us for 'only' beating certain teams and not winning convincingly.
i fully expect this team to come out and absolutely destroy virginia and then pittsburgh. i also fully expect that miami will continue to be disrespected in the playoff rankings prior to the acc title game. after giving it a night to settle, i realized they did us a favor. this team...these players? these dudes get it. they just do. all this disrespect is just fuel to the fire.
thanks kirby! POS
