The big game this week is Miami at Florida State in an ACC showdown in primetime on ABC complete with a visit from the ESPN GameDay crew. Or so the Powers That Be would have you believe. Despite being ranked No. 7 by many of the meaningless polls and the BC$ formula, Miami is a 22-point underdog and is only given a 7-percent chance to win by the cool computers in the know. Combined with a Tennessee team that is an embarrassing 10-point underdog to SEC newcomer Missouri and its subpar football stadium, this is how you end up with Arkansas in the pool as it swirls in the soap opera of Gus Malzahn's first return to the state since being passed over for the Razorback job. Remember, the games pick themselves.
