Miami is probably top 25 good this year. Not “back” but at least they should be a good team. They were a good team and a good win last year.
Amazing that Texas, after finishing last season 5-7, is ranked at 23. Let the Tom Herman Texas love-fest begin!
Louisville sucks and Miami – I’ll believe it when I see it. Hard to have any respect for the Amway Coaches poll. Amway – greek work that means I can’t believe people still fall for this BS.
I am really shocked that Miami is not ranked #1. Oh wait, this is the coaches poll .
I’m OK with VT’s ranking. Justly slipped a bit from the end of season ranking due to reloading some big talent. And historically VT has been better at climbing the polls than maintaining a high ranking. #20 vs. #22 will make for a decent TV matchup, rankings-wise, too.
I’m not sold on L’ville and Miami is “back” once again this year. I like the Hokies’ chances . . .
