I have said many times that there is a high probability than FSU and Miami will meet again in the ACC title game. I'm not saying FSU will lose, I'm saying that thinking FSU will just show up and blow them out is not the right way to look at this. Who knows, they might very well blow them out, but I think it's being naive to actually expect that. They have seen FSU (and of course the opposite is true as well), they know what to expect, and remember, the previous meeting was close for a while. Miami's running game is legit and FSU's defensive line is susceptible to a power running game. I had an Ohio State fan say that FSU would beat them even worse. It could work out that way, but I wouldn't expect it or expect Miami to lay down. They know what FSU would be playing for (pending FSU is undefeated going into that game). Miami would certainly have spoiler on their mind.

History has shown that the second meeting ( in any sport) can go to the loser of the previous one. So please don't expect Miami to lay down knowing full well they could end any shot FSU has at a title.

Also, Miami loses their clinch of the division if they lose tonight to VT. I see VT winning this game as well.

I don't know a lot about Miami's team, but from what I saw of their game with FSU, it seems to me that losing Duke Johnson was a big blow to them. Maybe a knockout.

I've watched them play a few times and just don't really think they're that good.

Miami is done this year. Not as done as UF, but done in their own way. Decent bowl game for them, they deserve that.

Miami barely beat a bunch of crappy teams and then got blown out by FSU. Their best RB and WR are injured. Miami is a fringe top 25 team. No threat to Florida St.

I'm not saying Miami will win, I'm saying I wouldn't expect them to just lay down.

They very well could, but in case Miami does go to the title game, they won't lay down even if FSU does put a hurting on them.

FSU is too deep. Miami might hang with them for a half, but then FSU would pull away, much as they did last time they met.

Miami is on upset alert tonight. As mentioned, losing Duke Johnson was not good. In addition; FSU physically pounded on that team and losing as badly as they did, tonight's game might be tough to show up ready to play. Miami away from Coral Gables is not a solid team.

The game is at Miami. Not VT.

I think that is why everyone is overlooking Miami. This is what happens when you play teams with pulses.

Yeah. Our division is horrifically terrible. Nobody in our division should be ranked the rest of the way. And the canes should be overlooked until they can grasp pop warner level tackling techniques. Im pretty sure they are coached to not use their hands when tackling. If D'onofrio isnt fired this season golden can hit the fucking road with his buddy.
