They will always be ranked in the preseason because of their top recruiting classes. I only care where they are at the end of the season, and the chances are, it will be unranked.

Would it also be reasonable to suggest that they had a definite down period from 2006-2008? Because that is all I am saying. Not rocket31 science here.

If you want to make a prediction saying that Miami will be down this year, thats fine. But I fail to see where saying they were down in the recent past and now are currently looking like a top 20 team has anything to do with playing OSU this year.

And nobody will be singing a different tune during OSU/Miami week than they are now. OSU should win that game by 1 or 2 scores (my guess is in the 3-10 point range). Ask me again september 1st and I'll tell you the same thing. Miami has an undersized defense by current college standards, but they are athletic and match up really well with OSU's skill guys. If Chekwa keeps getting burnt, and Miami has a decent offensive line, their offense will be able to move the ball some. Nobody's making this out like it's an easy game, but nobody's claiming Miami's a great team yet either. They have the potential to be. They also have the potential to be 8-4. Nobody knows, so how bout you quit acting like a 4 year old running around telling everybody what everyone else said.
