23 Florida State (4-1) vs. 13 Miami (3-1), 8pm, ABCIn what used to be the game of the year during the '90s, the battle for the ACC will become clearer during this game. Head coach Randy Shannon has rebuilt the Hurricanes into a national power just two years after he inherited a situation that could best be described in one word: disastrous. Now, with smooth-moving QB Jacory Harris, a bevy of talented receivers, and a defense that makes fans nostalgic of the U in the '80s, the Hurricanes are prepared to make an impact on the national stage. But don't forget about the Seminoles. Under first year coach Jimbo Fisher, the team has shot out to a 4-1 record, the only loss coming at the hands of a talented Oklahoma team. Behind QB Christian Ponder, the team hasn't scored less than 30 points in a game this season. And with a blitzkrieg-like defense that leads the nation in sacks with 25, expect the Seminoles to pressure Harris into using his legs instead of his arm. Prediction: Miami. Harris was embarrassed by Ohio State on national television. It's his turn to embarrass a team on his home turf.
