Miami (-17�) at Florida State
With the Hurricanes an unexpectedly subpar 1-2, this Saturday's clash, in recent seasons a battle with national implications, might not leave the potent Seminoles (4-0) much even in the way of Sunshine State bragging rights. But Florida State may have begun winning this game almost two years ago. On Jan. 1, 1994, the Seminoles gained their first national title with a victory over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, while the Hurricanes were bludgeoned by Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl. The day after the national title game, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden walked out of South Florida with several of that region's top schoolboy prospects; ever since, Miami has failed to regain control of recruiting in its own backyard.
