DAILY DEBATE: Does Miami deserve to be ranked over Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina?

No , we had our chances we lost in on the field . Fck that ! I would also send a message to nd and leave them out until they join a conference. . No free passes here

South Carolina has 3 losses and needed last minute touchdowns to beat Mizzou (awful) and Clemson (mediocre) and trailed midway through the fourth against Old Dominion at home. They are not blowing teams away in a way that makes up the gap of having an extra loss.

We’re currently at 6. We’d have to drop 7 after losing on the road to a 9 win team by 5 points.
Bama would have to jump us for beating the 13th best team in the SEC in Tusco. I just don’t see it

We need to be ranked 11th tonight right? Or if we are 12th it would need to be AZ state or Iowa ST ahead of us and not have it be bama ole miss or SC right? Bc one of AZ or Iowa St gets an automatic bid. On3 projection had us 12th but bama was 11th so that wouldn't work bc ASU and ISU were behind both and one of those gets in...

On paper, absolutely. Most qualified. Eye test, absolutely not.

Interesting decision. The entire nation would tune in to watch them lose. Only Bama/Ole Miss/SCe fans would watch for their game. Ratings vs Optics.

First, "the entire nation" is not tuning in (or out) for any of these first-round games.

Depending on who hosts the game (I'm assuming Miami would not get a seed in the 5-8 range), it could be a worthwhile matchup, both in-person and on-TV.

Second, I don't think "eye-test" has any merit here. We are in the "tallest midget" debate territory. Acting like ANY 3-loss team is going to somehow turn into an unbeatable foe is just wrong.

In-game injuries could play a role. Opt-outs could play a role. Portal could play a role. We are in a very uncertain (and parity-driven) environment now.

Can’t put them in over Bama period

They lost

Every argument is circular. Bc nobody is that good, everybody looks mid within their own conference bc everybody beats everybody.

Miami - 10-2 P4 team should get in over 9-3 teams. But no good wins. Cuse loss isn’t a “bad loss” and GT loss is bad, but not disqualifying.

Bama - Best win UGA. 3 very bad losses. Tenn is a bad loss until proven otherwise. They’ve lost to everybody with a pulse they’ve played.

Ole Miss - Beat win UGA. 2 very very bad losses. One in OT on the road.

SC - Lost to Bama and Ole Miss. Also are they even good? They’ve run the table against a weak *** schedule after stating 3-3 and benefited from everybody else losing. Best win is Clemson and A&M. Nobody knows if either is even good bc they’ve both lost to everybody they played with a pulse.

IMO, we would be the most viewed game. Entire nation meant anyone who followed CFB. Didn't know I had to specify.

Your opinion on what has merit is your opinion, not necessarily theirs. Who knows how they'll determine it. I gave both ends of the spectrum.

Tallest midget is accurate. Don't care either way.

Ironically more controversy with 12 than there ever was with 4. That's funny.

Well, we have anecdotal evidence on Ole Miss for one. They lost at UF, we went into their house and beat them down. Ole Miss would be a tough game, but winnable for sure.

You're holding Bama to the same bar as they've been at for the past decade plus; Saban isn't there anymore.

South Carolina may be the one school that we can't beat, but I haven't watched them at all this year. So I really have no opinion one way or the other on them.

You can’t play that game.

Counter point- The same Clemson that made the ACC title game this weekend while Miami sits at home and Mizzu is 9-3. Those are better wins than Cal and VT who Miami needed miracles to beat.

You're a fool. You believe we have a good team, which is all the evidence needed to confirm that you're a fool. Clemson would curb stomp us too

I'm the fool yet you think Clemson would curb stomp us. OK bud.

Nobody is curb stomping us with the best offense in the country dip****.
