Miami drops to No. 8 in latest AP Poll

[Squid Bumciorek]

Yeah I figured we would win and drop. Should be good bulletin board material for the players so they don’t have a third game in a row that they start with their heads in their asses.

 

[SWFLSWAGG17]

Honestly, who cares. This is not a bad thing. When people tell us how good we are, we play like ****.

We are still undefeated, we are still in the Top 12. We good.

Coming back to almost win the game in the biggest top 5 comeback in history helped them out a bit.

Almost winning isn’t winning. They lost.

 

[camward4heisman]

Good, as if the film isn't enough from this week this should also help. Go hang 60 on Cal.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Georgia being ranked that high is a joke.

One edible rule friend.

ONE.

 

[Empirical Cane]

With 11 slots (cuz #12 reserved for G5 champ), ranking 1-11 is just fine.

It all is meaningless anyways. Stay alive or go home game is this week against Cal, all that matters.

 

[NE Canes]

It's not surprising but it is still funny. Penn St didn't do much and struggle themselves but it is what it is.

The team needs that fire back. That chip they had at UF.

 

[cway313]

Win and we in!

At the end of the day, what matters is getting to the ACCCG and beating whoever that lines up opposite us there ...

Don't care whether we roll, hobble or sprint from here to there. Make the playoffs and a new season starts.

 

[Orig.CaneSawMassacre]

I should be ****ed off. Georgia should drop much lower. Georgia struggled against Kentucky. Us in Alabama have a common opponent that Alabama struggled with. Really we should be top five.

However these players have nothing but sunshine blown up their asses all the time. I'm glad we dropped. With the new playoff format it doesn't really matter.

I’m torn on this… Georgia clearly shouldn’t be in the top 5 and I don’t agree with Penn St or Oregon jumping them…

BUT I kind of agree with you about this TEAM needing a snap back movement. They did not come in and play with the focus and intensity they should have.

If we execute the even 50% better we crush this team by double digits.

Hopefully the game caught their attention but if they pay attention to the media dropping in the rankings might give them some extra motivation. Plus Gameday next week.

Mario GOT this.

Win and we in!

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Who cares where Miami ranked. Win the ACC and you are one of the top 4 teams in the country.

 

[The Sphinx]

Just. Win. The rest doesn’t matter.

 

[Silver King]

Don't mean nuttin, man, don't mean nuttin.

You're right, win the ACC and you're automatically seeded in the Top 4. That's a lot different though from actually being among the nation's best four teams.

Actually, that Top Four guarantee makes the ACC a lot more attractive to stay in. Much easier path into the Playoffs.
