This looks at the next 3 seasons in college football and what to and who to expect to be in the Top 25.

Miami is # 18. Here is the breakdown of what they said about The U.

They also ranked us of having
Coaching - 6.2 out of 10
Current Talent - 6.2 out of 10
Recruiting - 7 out of 10
Title Path - 6.2 out of 10
Program Power - 5.2 out of 10

"Coaching: "Al Golden is one of the best young coaches in the country," Schlabach says. "I think he's there for the long haul. If they can get over the sanctions, there aren't many jobs in the country better than Miami." Haney adds: "Coaches I've talked to in that league think Golden is a guy who will win a bunch of games there."

Current Talent: There are several young players already in the program who should give Miami fans optimism. RB Duke Johnson, WR/TE Derrick Griffin, CB Tracy Howard and S Deon Bush are all underclassmen who have the potential to be impact players for the Canes. A veteran-laden O-line should be a strength in 2013, but the defense has some issues to overcome.

Recruiting: The Hurricanes signed the eighth-ranked class in 2012, 15th in 2013 and currently have the 12th for 2014. "They continue to sell the whole mindset and aura of 'the U,'" Luginbill says. "For whatever reason, it still resonates."

Title Path: The potential for an NCAA-imposed postseason ban remains a possibility, but if you take that out of the equation, Miami's championship path appears fairly straightforward. "In that league, the door is open," Haney says.

Program Power: Miami took a hit in this category, in part because of the U's poor facilities and in part because of the remaining potential for NCAA sanctions. But with the facilities in the process of being upgraded, and the appearance of stability in the program, the Canes should be OK. "I think as long as Miami can keep Al Golden, they'll have a chance to recover from any sanctions they face," Schlabach says."

Wins and losses thats what its about for them and recruiting,not to surprised. That list can change in the 2nd week of the season real fast. Only secure spot is Bama.

Really? Why? It's one of the top 5 jobs in the country. They will always be high on the list. Don't let your hate for Florida get in the way of the truth.

This is the kind of fluff ESPN can be noted for.For ex.,how does ESPN predict coaching
changes ?How does ESPN predict NCAA sanctions against a school?What happens if
Saban,Meyer or Kelly go to the NFL?What happens if Lane Kiffin is fired?
 
"They continue to sell the whole mindset and aura of 'the U,'" Luginbill says. "For whatever reason, it still resonates."

It will always resonate. Deal with it.

That's arguable.

The OB is gone.

The winning is gone.

The draft picks are gone.

Probation is imminent.

The ship is sinking.

I hear ya. Guess I was thinking of the 8-5/7-6 seasons from a few years ago. 12-2 last year with a bunch of young cats isn't too bad. Hope we beat'em this year and those rankings won't matter in the long run.

The number of you who misunderstand what this ranking is trying to accomplish is significant. What occurs in week two or three of the 2013 season would have no affect on this ranking.

Yea, I totally agree. Hope we beat that *** and I think we will.
 
The ship is not sinking. Actually, it is where it has always been. It has just been tied up. Untie us and we back.
