What could it influence? One loss certainly doesn’t eliminate either team from the conference title or College Football Playoff discussion.

0-13 Appalachian State’s record against ACC teams other than Wake Forest. So are the stakes.
Florida State Preseason All-American defensive back Derwin James suffered a cartilage tear in his left knee during the Charleston Southern game and could be out as long as 10 weeks – or as little as two, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said.
Despite unbelievable early numbers and the hype that goes along with them, however, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino knows that his team enters the weekend with something to prove.
Lamar Jackson has been a one man wrecking crew this season.
Mayfield also has several options in the passing game. They are 11-point underdogs but have the offensive firepower to make things interesting if they don’t completely fold when punched in the gut like they did against FSU. And, there are few more that are competing for it.
The Louisville Cardinals (2-0) are coming from a 62-28 win over the Syracuse Orange in week 2. The excitement around is the city is at an all-time high as the ESPN College GameDay truck roll into the city, but the players are just focused on taking on one of the premier football programs in the country.
Cook, all three players Winston threw touchdown passes to and 40 other Seminoles remain on the current FSU roster. Should that be enough?
Through two games this season, Alabama has looked like the class of the conference and perhaps the class of the nation after throttling USC in the season opener. Jackson usually rushes most of the time but if he can utilize Radcliff more, his life is going to be so much easier. The Cardinals will try to legitimize their No. 10 ranking and their status as a contender for the ACC Championship.
In addition to the CFP race, Saturday’s contest could also have a huge impact on the Heisman Trophy race. With Are and Bell back, I expect FSU to cut back on the penalties and help Cook get going like he always does against Louisville. “Muhammad Ali’s presence and generosity to our department will never be forgotten and the support Lonnie and her family have given in all aspects have meant a lot to me during the course of my career at the University of Louisville”. Syracuse is the only school with two receivers in the top 10.
Heisman voters do get impressed by the big statistics, but that is not the key. Look for North Dakota State to come up with a couple of big plays to pull the upset.
Although the massive ACC match-up isn’t listed, there are still plenty of games to choose from for out must-see guide. Travis Rudolph led in receiving with 105 yards and 2 touchdowns in 7 catches while Jesus Wilson had 53 yards in 4 receptions. Todd Grantham’s defense will have to force turnovers and rattle redshirt freshman Deondre Francois. How Much to score? If Miami can keep blowing teams out of the water and Kaaya’s stats start reflecting that, the junior quarterback’s name will start to gain momentum. That being said, Golson threw for 372 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions against the Cardinals in 2015. So, he does know how to perform when it’s important. Jackson is an incredible player and likely has plenty of individual accolades headed his way soon, but he’s a bit of a one-man show.

FSU, on the other hand, is favored to finish in the top four, which can not happen if it loses Saturday.
