We are rather high on the Florida State Seminoles this season, as we see them challenging for the ACC title. However, we are not as high on the Miami Hurricanes, as we feel they are overrated in the preseason polls, and we think the disparity between these teams will be apparent tonight.

The Seminoles return all five starters on the offensive line, which is great news for an offense looking for more balance this season. The running game was surprisingly strong last year averaging nearly 180 yards per game on almost 5.0 yards per carry, and while returning quarterback Christian Ponder had some trouble with his accuracy, he matured nicely as the season went on and should only get better this year with lots of time to throw.

The Hurricanes are now turning quarterback duties over to Jacory Harris on a fulltime bass, and we are not so sure that is a good thing. He should struggle mightily vs. a Florida State defense that is one of the most athletic in the country, and it certainly hurts his cause tonight that Miami replaced two starters on the offensive line, making for a nightmarish matchup against the Seminoles front seven.

We look for the Florida State defense to basically manhandle the Miami offense tonight, and for a more balanced Seminoles offense to put up enough points to cover this spot.
