It'd be nice if Miami kept it close so they can at least come close to justifying their embarrassingly high ranking. I have a feeling that VT will blow them out though, and Miami will plummet in the rankings to #8 or #9.

They are the best one loss team in the nation if not for a botched snap they are undefeated and this game is even bigger than it is. Who would you rank ahead of Miami? The only teams I can see are Georgia and UCLA, maybe LSU. How it there ranking absurdly high. If you want to make an argument aboust an absurdly high ranking look at the number 8 team with with two losses and zero maybe one quality win.

Which coincidentally is more quality wins than Miami has.

Seriously, Miami lost to FSU and then barely beaten a bunch of scrubs all year. Oooooh boy, they beat Clemson by 4 when Clemson was ranked. Jump for joy.

You say Miami is one botched snap away from being undefeated? PSU is one second away from that feat as well. Except they've played:

Ohio State
Minnesota
Michigan
Northwestern

and after they win today you can tack Wisconsin on that list. Miami has done nothing to justify their ranking with the exception of being from Miami.
