According to a major metric by ESPN, the Miami Hurricanes football team is considered a top 10 team this offseason.

Miami is ranked No. 9 for projected strength, with a projected win-loss record of 9.7 wins to 2.8 losses. The other two ACC teams in the top 25 are Clemson, at No. 11, and SMU, at No. 20. According to ESPN, the Hurricanes have a 46.3% chance of making the College Football Playoff (CFP) and a 3.2% probability of winning the national championship.

Head-to-head on neutral field projection? Kind of how Pate does his rankings.

Well I'll help it make sense. There is 13 SEC teams in that top 25 there is six or seven Big ten teams in that top 25 everything and anything media related comes down to at the end of the day justifying what they'll turn around and do every other team outside of those conferences once playoffs rankings come around. Especially now with the conference champions being irrelevant. Or at least virtually irrelevant.
 
The gators getting the love that they are but yet have 6.5 next to the their name is just insane. That schedule is tough no doubt but they’re not a good team if they win 6 games. Tough schedule or not

I'd say that's a fair list. We'll know right off the bat against ND. Hoping Beck has developed some chemistry with his WR's and Lofton by then.

Agree specifically on Miami's ranking. ND at #7 also seems fair to me. Battle of the Titans. We win that, put UF in their proper place, and we are fuccin. As for the rest of the list, ESPN can't help themselves in their SEC slurping.

Don’t you remember the joys of being able to run on fumes at that age? I tell my kid all the time that if I could bottle his energy and sell it to us old folks, I’d be rich.

Preseason FPI is always a weird crap shoot because the data is made up entirely from last season’s numbers. Obviously, they have nothing else to go on but like every other ranking system. It should probably be ignored until at least week 4 or 5.

Also, FPI is not a determinant on what teams will make the playoff or win the title. It’s purely to measure head to head matchups. So while a team like Miami, with a relatively easy schedule might have higher number of expected wins or higher chance to make the playoff, FPI considers teams like Notre Dame and Texas A&M to be better in a head to head matchup.

Unfortunately, it's just made up period. Regardless of previous records, lost players or coaches or stats the SEC teams get ranked anyway.
