Miami still has to handle the Hokies which are I think a better team than FSU is this year so that COULD potentially go either way. The rest of their schedule is cake... No wonder they look so good

Miami also looks good b/c they play a great system with amazing athletes . . . they'll decimate the Hokies, then we'll talk again in January.

If you're not familiar with that venue it's probably the loudest venue in NCAA football. The fans actually have midnight yelling practice. They also have to handle Tech who has the #1 passer in all of football, Kliff Kingsberry.. But OU has been pretty good against these big name QB's... Simms, Wallace, etc.

You guys looked good against Wallace, and Kingsbury isn't that amazing (Simms? Are you freaking kidding?). He's a good quarterback, but the system is what puts up the numbers - I saw them play in person at the Alamo Bowl, he's not that stunning. He doesn't make great reads, but he'll hit open receivers . . . I don't see that happening with Stoops on the D plan.
The Sooners will run the table on the way out, but don't put too much into that computer ranking - Nebraska got WORKED last year, and benefitted very similarly from strength of schedule. Notre Dame is going to have to score some points on a good defense before I make them top-5 - they're the biggest reason right now for you to be skeptical about your team's ranking (shit, and mine too).
