Miss state should be in top 10. Period.
Miami??? My daughters office softball team could beat fsu.
Lol
Yeah but Miami doesn’t have any teams much better than FSU on their schedule. They could easily go undefeated into the ACC championship without ever being tested
I wouldn’t put us at 4.
The top three actually look defendable, after that it looks like they just pulled some names from a hat. “Reasoning? We don’t need no stinking reasoning.”
You do realize that most of these polls are voted on by SID’s, Graduate Assisants, and even Interns.
This is a lazy way to rank teams. It’s basically wherever there is a loser, drop them by a certain number and raise everybody else up in the order they are. Miami moved up because they were #12, while Miss. State was not ranked.
