11/9: Miami @ Georgia Tech

When Georgia Tech shocked Florida State in the first game of the season, many pundits questioned their legitimacy. They have since suffered ACC losses to Syracuse and Louisville while dominating Georgia State and Virginia Military Institute.

While I mentioned earlier that Mario Cristobal should be hungry to avenge last year's loss to Louisville, he should be even hungrier to avenge last year's loss to Georgia Tech, a game in which he committed one of the worst coaching blunders in recent history and was rightfully ridiculed for it.

Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King has looked good as a dual threat, and he has several weapons around him that make the Yellow Jackets' offense sneaky good. There's not much to worry about on the defensive side, as they've recorded just five sacks in five games and have yet to record an interception.

This could be a close game, especially in Atlanta, but even if Miami's defense struggles, the offense should be able to carry them to victory. ESPN has Miami at a 78.1 percent chance to win.
