Miami? Please. Remember the 1992 Sugar Bowl?

Sleeping on Miami is the only smart thing anyone is doing. Darian Mensah is a system quarterback who puts up stats against Coastal Division defenses, not a Heisman contender. That offense is loaded with portal mercenaries who fold the second they face a real pass rush. Top 5 team? They haven't beaten a ranked opponent in years. Their own fans don't even show up to home games. Mario Cristobal is a recruiting hype man who can't win the big one, and this year will be no different. The second they play Florida State or Clemson, the fraud will be exposed. Calling them a playoff threat is a joke. They're the most overrated brand in the sport, living off 20-year-old highlights. The U is back? More like the U is back to being irrelevant by October. Let them start 4-0 against high school teams and then we'll talk.

Miami hasn't been relevant since the probation years. They haven't seen a real defense since the old Big East days, and we'd handle them like we did in the 2005 Orange Bowl.

Miami's offense averaged 5.8 yards per play last season, which ranked 56th nationally. That's not a top 5 supporting cast.

Top 5? Son, I watched Miami when they were actually a top 5 team, back when they played in the Orange Bowl and you could hear the swagger. We played them in the 2005 Peach Bowl and sent them packing. These days, they're all hype until they play a real team. One good quarterback doesn't make a contender, just ask any of their guys from the last twenty years. Your Sooners haven't exactly been world-beaters lately either, so maybe worry about your own backyard.

Miami is the most overrated program in the country. They haven't won anything meaningful in 20 years. Darian Mensah is a systtem QB on a team that will finish 8-4.

Miami? Top five? That's rich. I've been watching this sport since the Southwest Conference days, and I've seen plenty of flashy Miami teams come and go. They always look good in September, then they hit a real defense and it all falls apart. Remember the 2004 Peach Bowl? We put 40 on them. They haven't changed. Darian Mensah might put up numbers against the soft part of their schedule, but let him try to do that against a defense with some grit. Our boys in Lubbock have faced better quarterbacks in our own history. You think Mensah is a Heisman threat? That trophy used to mean something. Now it's just a popularity contest for the teams on TV every week. Their offense is "loaded" with mercenaries who jumped in the portal for the biggest NIL deal. There's no soul in that. A top five team is built on more than just collecting talent. It's built on culture, and that's something you can't buy. They'll finish with three losses, just like they always do. The U hasn't been the U since Butch Davis left.

Miami looks solid, but they haven't faced a real defense yet. We'll see how that offense holds up when they play someone physical.

We'll see how loaded that offense looks when they have to face our defense in November

Miami hasn't been relevant since the old Big East days. We had a better offense with Robert Mathis rushing the quarterback back in the 90s. They'll fade by November like they always do.

Miami's a fraud until they win the Coastal, which they never do

Miami is always overhyped in the preseason before they lose to a team with a pulse. Darian Mensah is good, but he's playing behind a line that got pushed aruond last year. Our defense is built to handle quarterbacks like him, and we've got the athletes to match their speed. They haven't proven they can win the big one when it matters. Calling them top five is a massive stretch until they actually beat someone. We'll see how loaded they are when they have to come up north and play in a real football environment.

That's a wild take from a Sooners fan whose program just got exposed in the SEC. Miami has talent, but calling them top five is pure fantasy. Their offensive line ranked 78th in pass block grade last year, so good luck protecting Mensah consistently. Texas Longhorns' defense, which finished 12th in defensive SP+, would feast on that unit. Oklahoma's own secondary gave up 8.4 yards per attempt, so maybe you're just used to watching bad defenses and think Miami looks good by comparison. The Hurricanes haven't won 10 games since 2017, and their schedule is soft. They'll get exposed by any physical team, just like Oklahoma did against Tennessee and Ole Miss. Mensah might put up numbers against ACC defenses, but he's not surviving a full season behind that line. Texas has a far more complete roster, proven by a higher talent level and actually winning a playoff game. Miami isn't even the best team in Florida, let alone a national contender. Save the hype for when they actually beat someone.

We'll see how loaded that offense is when they face our defense in Durham

We'll see how loaded that offense looks when they HAVE to face our defense in November

Miami is perpetually overrated. Darian Mensah is good but a Heisman threat? That's a stretch. Their defense is still a major question mark and will cost them in the ACC.

Sleeping on Miami is the smartest thing anyone can do because they always find a way to collapse. Darian Mensah is a good quarterback, I'll give you that, but a Heisman threat? Come on, he hasn't won anything meaningful yet. Their offense looks loaded on paper every single August, and then they play a real team and it all falls apart. We saw it last year when they came up to Atlanta and got handled. Calling them a top 5 team right now is pure fantasy, they haven't earned that kind of respect in decades. Their own fans don't even believe it until they actually prove it on the field. We play in a real conference where you have to show up every week, not just look good in offseason hype videos. Let's see them get through their schedule without a patented Miami meltdown before we crown them. I remember when they were supposed to be "back" last season too. That article is just more of the same recycled hype that sells clicks but doesn't win games. We're focused on our own business in the ACC, and we know what we're building is sustainable, not built on flash and summer headlines.

Miami hasn't been relevant since the 80s

Miami is perpetually overhyped before they face any real competition. Darian Mensah puts up numbers against soft schedules, then disappears when the pressure is on. Calling them a top 5 team is pure fantasy until they prove they can win a game that actually matters. Their "loaded" offense gets exposed every single year in conference play. The hype is a joke because the results never follow. They'll finish third in the ACC Coastal, like they alwyas do.

Miami is the biggest fraud in the ACC. They'll finish with 4 losses.

Miami's offense averaged just 5.2 yards per play last season, which ranked 78th nationally. That's not a top 5 team.

Miami hasn't won the ACC in 20 years and they're talking about top 5. We'll see how that loaded offense looks when they have to play a real schedule.

Miami's defense ranked 98th in yards per play allowed last year, that's not a top 5 team

You Sooners fans have short memoories. I watched Barry Switzer's teams back when we played in the Orange Bowl, and this Miami talk is premature. A Heisman threat? We had Darren McFadden finish second twice in a tougher SEC. Real contenders prove it in November, not in September headlines. Your conference doesn't have the week-in, week-out grind we used to face in the old Southwest Conference or the SEC. Let's see how that offense looks after a real defense hits them.

We'll see how loaded they look when our defense gets after Mensah in the pocket

Miami's schedule is a joke, and Darian Mensah is a system QB. Their O-line can't handle a real pass rush, and their defense is full of portal gambles. They'll be exposed by mid-October.

We'll see how loaded they look when they have to play in Corvallis this year imo

Miami? Top five? Son, I watched the Hurricanes when they were actually something back in the 80s and 90s, and this ain't that. We've seen this movie before with them. They get a few flashy wins in September and the hype train leaves the station. Remember when they were supposed to be back under Al Golden? Or Randy Shannon? It's the same story. A quarterback puts up numbers against soft early schedules and everyone forgets they fold when they face a real defense with a pulse. That offense might look loaded now, but let's see how it holds up in a cold-weather game in late November, something they never could handle. They haven't won an ACC title since they joined. Not one. That tells you everything. We had a running back win the Heisman, Tony Dorsett, and that was earned through a full season of punishment. This Mensah kid hasn't seen anything like the grind we faced in the old Big East. The game has gotten soft, and so has the evaluation. Top five teams have depth and toughness. Miami's always been a front-runner. When things get tough, they start pointing fingers. That culture hasn't changed, no matter who the quarterback is.

Miami hasn't won the ACC in 20 years and now they're a top 5 team? Come on. We handled them last year and their qaurterback hasn't proven anything against a real defense.

Miami? Please.

Miami? Top 5? Laughable.

Miami is the most overrated program in the country. They lose a big game every single year. Darian Mensah is a system QB who will crumble against a real defense. Calling them top five is pure comeyd. The ACC is weak and inflates their record. They haven't won anything meaningful in two decades. Wake me up when they actually beat Clemson.

miami hasn't won the acc in 20 years and now they're a top five team? come on. we'll see how legit that offense is when they have to play a real schedule.

We'll see how that loaded offense looks when they come to Neyland this fall

We own Miami every year

miami is the biggest fraud in the acc. they'll lose three games by october.

Miami hasn't won the ACC in 20 years and suddenly they're a top five team? Come on. We handled them last season and our defense is only getting better. Darian Mensah is a good player, but he hasn't seen a secondary like ours yet. Let's see them actually win something meaningful before we start with the Heisman talk. That article is just offseason hype for a program that always disappoints.
