Undefeated P4

This week provided one of the biggest data points we'll have on Miami until they go to Notre Dame in November...and it was a 28-point win against a lifeless Clemson. I don't love having them this high but nobody else looks good enough for #3, so...

0.87425

GippyRank expected rank: 4.8. Central 80% interval: 1–9. Top-25 probability: 99.9%.

Dominant win vs. Clemson and Wake's continued success gives them the bonafides to jump up.

Beating up Clemson before a bye week that leads to the (probable) beating up of FSU must feel great for Hurricane fans. Hopefully Pitt’s backup is good and that matchup gives them a good rest in a few weeks because it’s still very hard to tell how good this squad is atm.

Undefeated with a dominant road win at Clemson and a road win at Wake Forest.

I had Miami in tier 2 up to this point because preseason I expected them to lose to Notre Dame and the rest of the schedule wasn't good enough to justify putting them in tier 1. But for now, their resume isn't much different from Notre Dame's. If Pitt keeps winning the matchup in a few weeks will be interesting.

The Wake Forest win looks way better in hindsight, but I still want to see more from them. That Notre Dame game is the one to circle.

Blowout of Wake Forest |4| looks good, and they don't have any other close games.

38|11|129

It's level with Notre Dame on scoring: the #1 defense (13.8 allowed) and #8 offense. Its resume is thinner, though: its best rule win is over #30 Wake Forest, and it won 41–13 at Clemson this week. Because Notre Dame has wins over ranked teams and Miami doesn't, Miami sits second.

Still don’t know how to feel about the Canes, again another team that we don’t truly know about given their schedule and injuries.

Wake Forest win looks good, and you cannot overlook QB and WR quality

(60.80, +9) Blasted Clemson on the road in Death Valley. Miami looks like they might be even better than last year.

Another one of the nation’s best offenses, not cracking top 5 due to weak strength of schedule thus far.
