Key storylines and matchup notes for Miami and Louisville
- At No. 2, Miami's margin for error to keep that position is thin. The Hurricanes have one of the better resumes so far this season, but as the season continues, it might not look as impressive when other top teams face stiffer conference competition. This is a good opportunity to pass the "eye-test" and get a win. For Louisville, this is a bounce back spot. Both teams are coming off a bye and Louisville has the chance to insert themselves into the ACC race with a win.
