{"id":809,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/809","headline":"Miami hosts Florida State with unbeaten record on the line","dek":"The No. 3 Hurricanes enter 5-0 off a bye while the Seminoles try to rebound from a 44-20 loss to Louisville.","body":"The in-state rivalry resumes Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium, where No. 3 Miami puts its unbeaten season on the line against a Florida State team searching for footing. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPN.\n\nMiami comes in 5-0 overall and 3-0 in ACC play, fresh off a bye week that gave the Hurricanes extra time to prepare for their biggest rival. Quarterback Darian Mensah has been a steady piece of that run. Florida State, meanwhile, sits at 3-3 and 1-2 in conference, still trying to shake off a 44-20 loss to Louisville that exposed some of the same issues that have dogged the Seminoles all season.\n\nThe gap between the two programs looks wide on paper, with Miami treated as the clear favorite heading into the weekend. Florida State's coaching situation adds extra scrutiny to the result, with pressure mounting regardless of how the Seminoles perform.\n\nFor Miami, a win would keep the unbeaten run intact and reinforce its standing near the top of the national rankings. For Florida State, it is a chance to prove the Louisville loss was an aberration rather than a trend.","published_at":"2026-10-17T23:48:29.232361+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How to watch Florida State vs Miami: Live stream College Football, NCAA, TV channel","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-florida-state-vs-miami-220000749.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Miami vs. Florida State prediction, odds, time: Week 7 college football picks from proven model","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/miami-florida-state-prediction-odds-time-2026-week-7-college-football-picks-best-bets/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Florida State vs. Miami odds, prediction: Seminoles can cover three-score spread","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/17/betting/florida-state-vs-miami-odds-prediction-college-football-best-bets-picks-saturday/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Miami vs. Florida State prediction, odds, time: Week 7 college football picks from proven model","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/miami-florida-state-prediction-odds-time-2026-week-7-college-football-picks/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Can FSU football pull off upset over Miami Hurricanes?
