ESPN College GameDay, the once-iconic Saturday football pregame show, now a caricature of itself, will be on the scene for the Miami-Virginia Tech game this weekend, not so much because Tech has suffered back-to-back blowout losses, but because of Miami.
There aren’t a lot of options for this coming Saturday – the only game between two teams currently in the Top 25 would be LSU at Tennessee, and LSU, which fell to 6-4 with its 22-21 loss to Texas last night, could well be out of the Top 25 by the end of the day.
And so, it’s on campus for UM-VT, even with the game being at Hard Rock Stadium, which is a 26.4-mile drive from the University of Miami campus.
Miami (9-1, 7-0 ACC), which was ranked #1 nationally ahead of its 31-24 loss last week at Notre Dame, really hasn’t been the same since its double-OT escape of Florida State on Oct. 17.
But then, Virginia Tech (6-4, 3-4 ACC) is sucking wind on its side of this one – losing 51-28 at SMU last weekend, then getting thumped at home last night, 40-22, by Stanford.
