No polls until Oct 1st. That is the way it should be. Stop hyping teams because of the conference they play in and rank them based on how great they look. SOS ect.

First of I want to say I've been a Hurricanes fan since 1980 and had the privilege of watching our 1st championship in the Orange Bowl against Nebraska..
That being said---If we're so much improved, more experienced, better conditioned with better attitudes,,,, WHY do the polls have us ranked behind--Fl.State--Clemson--Louisville--UNC--Va. Tech--Ga.Tech--Duke--and God forbid Pittsburg? Florida and the disaster they had last year are coming in as a top 25 team..
Why does the most trusted Danny Sheridan and the Vegas Boys have us somewhere around a top 35 team nationally?
Why did Sports Illustrated not even rate us as an honorable mentioned team?
In that same breath they declared Petrino as the offensive genius who will challenge FSU for supremacy in the ACC.
Why did Kirk Herbstreit jump on "Louisville's gonna be great bandwagon"?

What is it the pollsters know that I don't?....Is Belief in this team not enough to make them winners?

Sad to say, you're asking the wrong crew.

They're NOT going to address your questions, and by bringing these questions up, you're a very poor Miami Hurricane fan.

Then why is UF ranked? Was their bowl showing better than ours? They lost to freakin Georgia Southern, at HOME. They have no business being ranked if we're going off last year. None.

After our season fell apart last year and the horrible showing against UL in the bowl game, who would have us anywhere near the top 25? We got decimated in the game against Louisville, I watch the whole **** game here in Orlando! With that said, the team does look much improved and I believe this year we will greatly outperform the expectations!

Not worried about it. The Canes have a lot of questions to answer. And I believe they will be answered in a way that makes all those "experts" feel dumber.

We arent ranked bc
- Preseason Polls always rank you high if you finished the year strong (UNC) and low if you struggled late (that would be us)
- Our starting QB got hurt in Spring and the current QB battle is between a True Frosh and a QB on his 3rd different team (and he is coming from Kansas)
- Our D has looked awful for 3 years in a row
- We had no depth - 1 RB goes down and 2 WRs and we implode
- And this year's schedule is MUCH tougher - much tougher
