miami vs clemson

Let the Canes have their time while it lasts. They have a good team this year.

Both teams played like they all had the flu. Very slow.

Dive into the math and tell me why UNC and NC State are rated higher than they should be. What part of the calculation is artificially raising their numbers?

You can think that we are behind UF, and that is fine. How, though, do you use the schedule criteria you listed above and put an SEC team above another major-conference team with similar numbers?

I said that NC and NC State (besides Duke) haven't beaten anyone.

I said that besides Michigan State and Arizona, that Miami's non-conference schedule is just okay.

Do you disagree? If so, please share...

We know the real reason you stopped talking baseball. I kid, I kid. Dreadnaught, I said it then, and I'll say it again now. You are a welcome rival on the baseball boards, and it's always nice to have a little perspective from the other side sprinkled in with the rest of the bunch. If I recall correctly, you and another poster were going back and forth. Coincidentally, that other poster rarely posts there any more. Give it another shot if you like.

By the way, Miami hoops is having a fantastic year. Hope to see you guys in Atlanta.

Go GATORS!

I also didn't know your past posting history. I have had very few pleasant experiences with Miami fans, on message boards or otherwise, so naturally I assume that a Miami fan that suddenly shows up on our board posting about the Canes in a good year is either a troll or a bandwagon fan.

My apologies

Miami has had to win bunch of close games to get to 12-0. They could easily be 8-4 with a handful of unlucky bounces. The Gators have blown every team out in conference other than Arkansas. The Gators didn't need to win a bunch of end-of-game coin flips.

Also, if the Gators played Clemson 10 times, what are the odds that they wouldn't score more than 50 points each time?

I think trying to diminish a 12-0 start because they have played exactly 3 games that came down to a final possession is silly and petty. They have won the other 9 by at least 6 pts and 5 by double digits. I think a lot of Gator fans fail to realize how awful the SEC is this year. I personally wish we had a few more competitive games. The 20-30 pt wins are not getting us ready for March. We are going to have to execute in close games, which didn't exactly go well for us earlier this season.
