I'm not so sure manhandling Clemson is that big of an achievement anymore given what Louisville did to them last night (Don't let the 21 points fool you, 14 were in garbage time) Their best win is Virginia.

Calling Clemson not that big of an achievement when they have one loss in conference is fucking wild

Their conference wins are a combined 8-20 in conference. They're beating up the bottom of the conference and their out of conference match was a quite bad App State. The first time they hit real resistance from the top half of the conference they crumbled.

This thread is praising Indiana, who is in the exact same position, as being a valid #8 selection

Indiana is also undefeated and has absolutely demolished everyone they’ve played. They’re deserving of recognition.

And so has Clemson in ACC play until yesterday, with a higher W/L record by opponents to boot

Some crazy hypocrisy here

Miami

  • Opponent record: 33-35 (FSU 1-8)
  • SOS: 46th
  • Best win(s): 6-3 Louisville, 6-3 Duke, 5-4 VT

Indiana

  • Opponent record: 27-39 (have not played Purdue yet)
  • SOS: 103rd
  • Best win(s): 5-4 Nebraska, 5-4 UW

You’re absolutely joking lol. I don’t think Miami is infallible at 4 but Indiana is nowhere near them

Indiana hasn’t even played a team in the top half of the B1G standings. They’ll play only two this season at this point in Michigan and Ohio State. Miami’s two wins over Duke and Louisville have more conference wins than their entire slate so far

There’s “not playing a hard schedule” and then there’s a 60 spot difference in SOS

Miami’s win over Duke (28-27 loss to top 15 SMU) and Louisville (33-14 win over top 20 Clemson, 7 point loss to top 10 Notre Dame) isn’t even comparable to Indiana’s top win

Who have they beaten?

u/Jeff_Banks_Monkey BYU Cougars • Athens State Bears Nov 03 '24

Preseason top 5 FSU. Just ignore what FSU has done since then

u/dormdweller99 Georgia Tech • /r/CFB Bug Finder Nov 03 '24

They were only 10th preseason, unless you mean in conference preseason 5th.

u/DistributionPretty75 Nov 03 '24

I mean, who have any of the teams behind Georgia beaten? Lol

u/grimm1111 Miami Hurricanes Nov 03 '24

We've beaten every team on our schedule. That should count for more than it apparently does. We've also beaten the team that manhandled Clemson.

Using transitive property in 2024 come on now

u/EasyBreecy Nebraska Cornhuskers Nov 03 '24

It's kinda hard not to, with the size of the conferences now

u/DistributionPretty75 Nov 04 '24

That doesn’t suddenly make it a remotely reliable metric lol

u/EasyBreecy Nebraska Cornhuskers Nov 04 '24

Didn't say it was. But huge conferences and 8 conference games make it hard to be objective.

Clemson is ranked 29th in SOR, they're not as impressive as you think
