#18 Florida State Seminoles (0-0, 0-0 Away)		Syracuse Orange (1-0, 1-0 Home)

Florida State enters this matchup ranked number 18 in the nation. They have immensely more talent than Syracuse and the Orange will need a minor miracle to pull off the upset here. Syracuse is playing at home but that shouldn't matter too much in this one. Look for the Seminoles to have no trouble coming away with a win.

This game wasn't even as close as the score suggests. The athletes on Florida State were much better than ours. RB Cam Akers ran for 100 yards, had 100 receiving yards, and scored 5 times. QB James Blackman threw for nearly 400 yards and 4 scores. RB Moe Neal was hurt on the opening drive of the game and did not play again. Not that it mattered much because the Orange were playing from behind all day and did not run it much anyways. Riley Neal scored for the second straight game and Tommy DeVito played a pretty good game once again. This program still has a long way to go before it can even think about competing in the ACC. Florida State are far from the best team in the nation but we aren't even close to measuring up to them yet. The difference has to be made in recruiting as currently, none of the top athletes in the nation want to attend Syracuse University for football, instead choosing traditional blue bloods like Alabama and Michigan.
