Miami at Florida St
How far has this game fallen?
Both teams are unranked. It has no BCS implications. It has no bearing on the Top 25. It won't be nationally televised. The BP vBookie didn't even set up a bet for this game!!!!
The horror.

No glow for FSU, Miami
For the first time in 30 years, the Hurricanes and Seminoles both come in unranked.
By Mark Berman
Miami will square off with Florida State on the football field Saturday, but it won't have any Bowl Championship Series implications. It won't affect the Top 25 polls. It won't be nationally televised.
It won't even be a big game in the ACC.
The coaching changes the former national championship programs made after last season haven't paid great dividends so far. Saturday's game will mark the first meeting in 30 years in which both teams are unranked -- and this is the same week in which upstart South Florida is ranked No. 2.
Last year, both the Seminoles and Hurricanes finished 7-6 and unranked. This year, both are 1-2 in the conference and coming off a loss.
And Jeff Bowden and Larry Coker are no longer around to take the blame.
FSU boosters paid Bowden to resign after a shutout loss to Wake Forest last November. FSU head coach Bobby Bowden hired Jimbo Fisher as his new offensive coordinator with a total annual package of $415,000.
Cont'd ...
