The game of the week in ACC Football in Week 5 happens to be the first game on the schedule, which has Virginia Tech traveling to Coral Gables to meet #7 Miami.
Odd as it is to say, because Miami has been a disappointment since joining the league 20 years ago, we need Miami, our last hope, to continue winning, after Clemson got dumped by Georgia in Week 1, and FSU lost its first three before escaping Cal last weekend.
Note: Virginia is off this weekend, with a bye, ahead of returning to the gridiron in Week 6 with a home tilt with Boston College.
