Canes ranked 12th tonight

[Calinative]

Well, Ward Manuel just laid out how they looked at it. Losing twice in the last three games was a killer.

Bama is 3-1 against current top 25 Miami is 0-1 against current top 25
6-1 vs teams above 500 Miami is 4-2 versus teams over 500

That last stat implies Bama is 3-2 vs teams below 500 miami is 6-0 vs teams below 500

see how we can do that lol

Indiana is 0-0 agasint teams current top 25 miami is 0-1
Indiana is 1-1 vs teams above 500 Miami is 4-2 with the 2 losses on the road.

 

[MarkyMark]

Can we fire Mario now?

 

[youngcanefanatic]

Another angle I’ve been thinking about. Since the CFP has shown it takes ratings into consideration. CFP thinks Bama/ND would get better ratings vs Miami/ND.
I find that totally insane

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Actually you speak opinions, I know thousands if not more fans who would love to see Ward and that offense one more time.
You're, far and away, the weirdest Miami "fan" I've ever encountered. You revel in our misfortune.

Yea well let me know when this program could beat teams in the ACC regularly and not embarrass themselves every year. I don’t give a **** what you or anyone else think about me.

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

Welp, at least we won the Florida championship. Cristobal can use that to justify his salary and spending 15 million plus on NIL.

 

[Uncut Co Cane]

Not mad bout us being left out because we controlled our own destiny but South Carolina got hosed by there own conference and before someone says Bama won head to head well so did Syracuse over UNLV

This. Losing two of the last three and limping in isn't the look of a playoff team.

 

[stormsurge13]

Indiana getting automatic 10 seed with no scrutiny is absurd. We still have no one to blame but ourselves

Indiana also got the benefit of a B1G sticker despite player the little sisters of the poor and Ohio State. One win over an above .500 team. Played 7 of the bottom 8 teams in the conference.

 

[major kong]

5 bucks Mario blames the ranking on
"analytics".

Especially when you are dd favorites going into those games

 

[orange&green84]

Because he is inept. Next year, this board will finally see the truth after 7-5. There will be a regression.

Unfortunately I think that’s our record next year. We are not getting the same caliber QB and lose a lot on offense.

Pretty sure bama lost 1 of their last 2 and scored 3 points against a 6-6 team... how's that not limping in? Would rather just them say we prefer sec teams because they make our shareholders more money and stop with the bull****

Yea he won’t take any accountability for 2 losses in the last 3 games. ***** of a coach.

 

[CaneDog66]

We have ourselves to blame of course, but that doesn't mean the committee's rankings are justified.

It’s the SEC/B1G Challenge, err CFP. Where a weak *** 9-3 Bama team who lost to Vandy and got boat raced at Oklahoma still gets in. The only way to break up this 2 conference love fest is to not watch

 

[dantheman349]

If we magically get in great if not oh well. Only the offense deserves to anyways.

 

[MikeyCanez]

Honestly, I agree with you. I was being more neutral to keep the mods off my a*s. Since the Diaz days, they hate me lol. But nonetheless, I feel this was the PEAK OF THE CRISTOBAL ERA, not some delusional "progress year." You will never have quarterback, a schedule, and such parity, in which there is a lack of elite, can't beat teams like this year again. This is Manny in 2020, Golden in 2013, Richt in 2017, and Shannon in 2009. This isn't going to work with Cristobal. I can't believe no one knows their history and can't see it...

You need a cold shower. Parity is here to stay. Good college quarterbacks are always available in the portal and our schedule next season, especially in conference, is not all that difficult.

With the way the playoff is set up, all we need to do is win the conference once and we are in.

Give someone else your computer, methinks you are too emotional for the message board game.

 

[Calinative]

This is just further reason the ACC is toast. Our season in B1G or SEC is CFP top 8 rank

 

[Juanka]

It would have been ugly especially if Miami were to go down early. They couldn’t even beat Ga Tech and Syracuse when they were double digit favorites. How do you think they would have done against a team worth a ****?

Wasn't Ohio State a double-digit favorite at home against Michigan? How about Bama vs Vandy/OU? ND vs NIU? Tennessee vs Arkansas?

 

[MikeyCanez]

From ESPN "What it came down to, is we evaluated both teams, we think highly of both," Warde Manuel, the committee chair, said of Miami and Alabama on the rankings release show on ESPN. "Both have had some losses that were not what they wanted. But in the last three games, Miami has lost twice. ... and we feel that Alabama has got the edge over Miami."

Everyone knew they'd get Bama in.

There is only one clear takeaway here. We need to schedule Mercer late in the season.

 

[ddann]

This. Losing two of the last three and limping in isn't the look of a playoff team.

But again, neither is Alabama getting worked by a bad Oklahoma team or Ohio State* putting up a whole 10 points and losing at home to a bad Michigan team.
None of that screams “playoff team,” now does it?
