Fast Forward

? Penn State (3-0) at Miami (2-0)
Hurricane Floyd is lurking in the Atlantic. Will there be a repeat of last year, when Hurricane Georges forced the postponement of UCLA's visit to South Florida? Doesn't Miami wish. Don't expect a repeat of the last meeting between these teams, in 1992, when the Hurricanes denied Joe Paterno his 245th victory by a score of 17-14. On Saturday, JoePa gets No. 311.

? Tennessee (1-0) at Florida (2-0)
The Gators rank 95th in the nation in passing efficiency defense, having allowed an average of 318.5 yards in victories over Western Michigan and Central Florida. Is Florida's new defensive coordinator, Jon Hoke, playing possum? More likely, the Gators will be Vols quarterback Tee Martin's roadkill.

? Michigan (2-0) at Syracuse (2-0)
Retribution Game I: The Wolverines fell behind 38-7 against the Orangemen last season before losing 38-28 at home. But Syracuse has lost Donovan McNabb to the NFL, and the Wolverines have too much experience to fall again.

? North Carolina State (3-0) at Florida State (2-0)
Retribution Game II: The Wolfpack thrashed the Seminoles 24-7 last season and scored 35 points in a losing effort in 1997. It's a good bet Chris Weinke won't throw six interceptions against N.C. State this time. Look for Florida State to outscore another top ACC opponent.
