Gameday
Miami (7-0) at Florida State (7-0) 8:00 PM ET
Watch: ABC, National Broadcast
Listen: Nole Radio Affiliates, Miami Radio Affiliates
The Weather: Thanks to a Friday cold front moving through, the weather should be perfect. 65 degrees at kickoff, falling below 60 by the end of the game. Clear skies with 8 mph winds out of the NW. Fall football weather at its finest.
The Spread: Florida State is a 21 point favorite.
So far, Florida State has met every challenge with insane offense and a defense that improves every week. At this point in the season, every game becomes more meaningful and the pressure to win increases.
An undefeated Miami presents the next challenge. Players on both teams do not need extra motivation. Each player knows the importance. Each team knows what the rivalry means to fans. Motivation will be plentiful. For Florida State, the challenge will be managing emotions and staying within the game plan. Players can't let the rivalry dictate how they play.
Florida State needs to play as they have done all year. The players need to continue trusting each other and the coaches. Yes, this is an enormous emotional rivalry with an amazing history. Emotion alone doesn't win games. History doesn't win games. With so much on the line for both teams, execution is king.
For the fans, well, we don't play the game. The spread shouldn't have an impact on Doak's atmosphere. For those going to the game, get there early and make NOISE. Miami so rarely gets to see what home field advantage is all about. Let's remind them.

Virginia Tech looks to bounce back after a ridiculous loss to Duke last week. If VT wants to stay in the ACC race, they can't afford to lose to a scrappy Boston College team. Virginia Tech is only a 5 point favorite. Should be a good game and is meaningful for the ACC championship picture. The rest of the noon games feature a maze of ACC and B1G games that should be navigated carefully.
Georgia and Florida square off at 3:30 in Jacksonville. Unfortunately for both fan bases, this one is mostly about bragging rights. Both teams have a lot of injures. Both teams are 4-3. Florida's offense is awful and looks worse each week. Luckily for them, Georgia's defense isn't exactly stout. This could be a low scoring, ugly game (UGA favored by 3). We'll all watch because it is still Georgia and Florida.* Michigan and Michigan State also play in the afternoon slot. True, these team's feature better records and both are ranked. Also true, with the match-ups in this game, it could be just as ugly as UF vs UGA.
