Breaking News: Hurricanes Overrated

Pundits, football fans and online sports betting handicappers can't stop talking about the Miami Hurricanes. Yes, I get it. They are the talk of the town right now in college football.

There's no question that the Hurricanes are back. This team not only has the talent, they are finally starting to produce some results. Beyond that, the Hurricanes have proven that they belong in the Top 25 and they are in fact an ACC contender.

But for the people talking about this team being the best in the country (yes, you Pat Forde) or the people talking about this team having a shot at the National Championship, you need to check what kind of alcohol or promethazine is mixed in with your Orange Kool-aid.

In the sportsbook, the Hurricanes odds have shot up for a National Championship but that is overrating this team.

Let's face it: they were one play away from losing to Florida State and the Georgia Tech game was revenge. Talk to me if this team starts 4-0.

But they won't even get to 3-0 as they are going to find out that the ACC goes through Blacksburg. The Virginia Tech Hokies are a very solid team that is every bit as good as Miami. There is no way that the Hokies should be an underdog at home.

Sure, they lost to Alabama but they played with them and they also beat Nebraska. Look for the Hokies to send a clear statement this week as the Hurricanes struggle with stiff Hokies defense this weekend.
