Prognosticators are tired of picking Miami to finish high and watching them basement dwell by seasons end

Basically this. All we have is promise right now, but who even cares? Thats why we play the season and crown a champ at the end.

The so called experts are predicting losses to Louisville and V. Tech as they are away games, then add losses to an overhyped North
Carolina and the probable loss to Clemson, resulting in a sixth place finish. Louisville is getting the nod because of their offense, but their
defense is suspect, and just the opposite is true with V. Tech, good defense, so so offense. If these were not away games the ranking might be
different. Even so,I think we can win both these games, we have players on both sides of the ball. North Carolina at home gives us another
possible victory. I think winning two out of the three is realistic, just hoping that Manny makes it possible, for me he is still a question mark.

Yeah I think a lot of people went game by game and picked the wins and loses. If we swapped schedules with North Carolina the prediction would probably look different.
 
If I’m manny I’m fanning the **** out of these predictions. More and more fuel. Tell them to keep coming with these.

In the words of Billy Joe Armstrong, wake me up when September ends. We'll have a decent idea of what we have when September ends. I was supposed to take a red shirt this year but Covid gave me a free year so I will be interested to see what the product looks like starting Thursday night. The very first game will be a decent barometer. We all know the signs. False Starts, delay's out of tine outs, not converting 3rd downs and giving up third and long situations. I am a fan, I believe but people who are not a fan of this squad have every right to pick us to fall flat. The recent past is all you need to refer to.

For all things sacred, can King and Lashlee please, please, please be as advertised. I still have a quote burned into my memory from years passed... The O coordinator who was asked what he would do if other teams blitz and his response was "here, kitty, kitty". That guy was gone in a year.
 
Still ahead of FSU.

I’d be disappointed if we only won two out of three. We sucked last year but should’ve beat Vtech and Carolina. No reason to think we can’t this year with what appears to be a better offense, guess we’ll find out soon
 
Canedog guarantees ewe this: The person(s) responsible for the "Official @ ACC Football" prediction that UM will finish 6th in the ACC have knot seen the shirtless photos of our players in the Feeley thread. Based on those photos alone eye predict the Canes will finish no worse than 3rd.

It's clear that the national 'experts' didn't actually watch our games last season and are simply going off result, which is not unexpected. Another poster mentioned this but our pal Barry Jackson interviewed a draft evaluator who thought FSU's program was in better shape right now that ours. If that doesn't tell you how tone deaf the majority of national writers are then idk what will.

Manny not outperforming our preseason expectation would be one of the biggest coaching failures in program history. He has a one year rental of one of the most dynamic QB's in college football, hired the best OC we've had at Miami in 20 years and brought in a kicker who won't singlehandedly lose us games (see GT, UNC, UF last year).
