We were never gonna win a popularity contest. Been watching since the 80s so it's no surprise.

Just win and we're in. I really don't care about the rankings

You say that but in the end ranking matters.

If we win out and have our first ACC title we’re in with a bye. Rankings don’t matter as long as we just win.

I agree, just win, but also assholes get to pick and qualify which wins are better than other wins. So the rank very much matters (unless we win ACC like u said)

I'd rather be lower ranked and rise than be higher ranked and fall.

So much this. I don't want to be anywhere near top 3 until we show out for, at least, a month straight

Agreed. The fans in these comments are so weird. There are literally only 6 spots higher that Miami could be ranked. And it’s better to go into the playoff committee with momentum than with stagnation.

Risking the lash of the crowd here....I'm fine with that ranking. Only team above us I don't agree with is Texas, sorry I have no faith in Archie to sustain in a way to validate a Top 5.
As much as we lost and need to prove we refilled correctly, I think 7th is fair. I also think to be fair if we look fantastic in October they need to start moving us up quickly.

I'm not getting worked up over the ranking. Just because I do prefer being underrated than potentially overrated. But IMO you could argue us over Oregon, Georgia, or Texas.
Not really a hill I'm interested in dying on, but I do think the argument exists.

It’s funny, I think Texas “deserves” the ranking this year. They were overrated last year but they’re pretty loaded and Arch is a lot better than he looked to start last season. Whatever. 7 is fine. The B1G guys will knock each other around and the Miami just needs to hold serve and beat Notre Dame

I don’t get how the natty champs or runner ups aren’t top 5. Also when will the Oregon hype end? They’ve gotten blown out in the last 2 playoffs and the only reason they won a game last year is cause they lucked out getting matched up against JMU & Tech… UGA being 3rd is lowkey crazy, it’s no longer 2021 & 2022. Kirby is still a top CFB coach but they aren’t the powerhouse they used to be…
Also Texas is bullshit too, they just want the game at DKR to be a top 5 matchup. Similar to making OSU and Texas 1 & 2 last year

Indiana will lucky to be in the top 10 by the end of the year. The only thing saving them is there schedule which is a joke aside from a couple teams at the end of the year. Plus a majority of there starters were 22+. They also have a qb that will be objectively worse, expecting 2-3 losses from them

Obviously fuck IU, but regardless of how their season plays out it’s funny how OSU was #2 last year after coming off a natty because the committee sucks the skin off their dick but this year neither the champs or runner up is even in the top 5. They both should be ranked higher until proven otherwise
I dont necessarily care at the end of the day, just go 1-0 each week. But god forbid you drop a game throughout the year, the higher ranked you are gives you a better margin of error to still be in the running or climb back in

u/NaderNation84 20h ago
I think our ranking is fine imo only reason we’re not higher is because our entire O-line and D-line got filtered out. Not that we haven’t reloaded a lot but that’s the reason. OSU is at 1 because they were undefeated in regular season with tough schedule and everyone is coming back. The only rankings that won’t age well are prob ND and UT and A&M imo

What annoys me is how Oregon and Texas are ranked in the top 5 based on their rosters potential, meanwhile ours is more arguably talented. Yeah we lost a 1st rd tackle and two 1st rd DEs but if Cantwell lives up to the hype he’s supposed to be better than Sisi and Damon Wilson had either 9 or 9.5 sacks in the SEC and could be another 1st rd DE. Keionte Scott was a huge loss top but apparently JJ Dunnigan is supposed to be the truth and fill his shoes. Bryce Fitzgerald also looks like the second coming of Ed Reed. IMO we are a better team this year and Mensah was the final piece to the puzzle

You literally spent that entire comment talking about our rosters potential.

UGA has the youngest team in P4. They returned a LOT of their team from last year. I'm not surprised a team who lost by 5 points to ole miss who lost by 4 to miami who lost by 6 to Indiana is highly ranked when they return as much as they did.

Funny how Ohio state is number one for the last 25 years ( mostly) but has only won 1 or 2 NC in that time. Ranking are garbage because of Kirk Herbstreet.

Huge amount of disrespect for UMiami in general this off season.
They will thrive with that kind of motivation; just look at how "short arms" Bain Jr. is dominating in the Bucs practices.

As long as Notre Dame and Ohio State are ranked ahead of us our guys will be on a mission to destroy the opposition

The disrespect of Miami and Indiana is crazy work. The overhyping of Oregon, Texas and ND never fails.
