I mean I'm not saying you're wrong but even you admit that they are close to Top 15.
Miami has lost their last 3 games...
Obviously you can be the better team & lose as well as the worse team & win. If seasons were 100 games, they’d even themselves out over time but they’re not. Close games get swung by losing too many 50-50 plays, couple of bad calls, bad bounces & even as we’ve seen inopportune and/or boneheaded HC playcalling, ie the Pitt fake punt.
Mutt belongs somewhere between maybe 8 & 15. They’re solid & fairly steady. They just have weaknesses which make them not an elite team. Certainly not Bammer talent, not even Clemp talent or even ND/Mich/OU, but more like WV,OsU, Wash St, maybe UCF.
Miami is loaded with talent. It can re-appear at any time. It’s probably more likely to appear after having lost 3 straight games & their manhood is being questioned. The only things that would probably prevent that from happening is what I said in another thread:
A. Fear of getting hurt in a relatively meaningless game to their superstars. One chop block like injury or someone has an injury that puts one of their NFL career in jeopardy & they’ll retreat to the bench, start playing passive.
B. In fighting may disrupt practices or coaches losing control of team by playing what the team believes is the wrong guy or hanging onto the wrong guy too long, ie their QB situation.
C. If we get them down, we had better keep our foot on their throat. If it’s too far from the end of the game & they get momentum, WTFO. They can make 21 pt leads disappear in a hurry.
But make no mistake, U possesses elite talent. They can roll us good if the wrong team shows up. If we get what has been normal for them a large part of the year, well that’s a different story.
But these kids are great.
