Game of the Week
*Miami 24, Florida State 21
Ready or not, the bitter rivals meet for the third time in 11 months. Miami has taken the last five in the series, part of the Hurricanes' nine-game winning streak against Florida teams since October 2000. We were wrong on both predictions last season, picking the Seminoles. This time we're going with Miami, by three points.
