If you can't tell already, I'm not sold on the Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes. They had the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft and nearly lost five games last year with experience all over the field.

They will have a new quarterback in Carson Beck and a new defensive coordinator looking to improve a defense that was awful last year.

It'll be a home game for the Noles, and they will have had several weeks(including the bye-week) to prepare for this game and should be relatively healthy.

Miami will have a bye-week before the FSU game but will host the Florida Gators the week before that. They'll also open the season against Notre Dame. The Hurricanes could have two losses by the time they travel to Tallahassee and we know that program is known as frontrunners.

Plus, it'll be a team of transfers that might have checked out after two losses. Give me the Noles in this one because it took Miami a while to pull away from FSU last year.
