Unsurprisingly, the Miami Hurricanes took a tumble in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings following their first loss of the season.

As long as the Hurricanes win the ACC title, they have a clear path to a first-round bye in the playoffs. If they lose another...

By Bob Ferrante Orlando Sentinel Correspondent TALLAHASSEE — The future is on display each week now for Florida State, with freshmen and sophomores starting across the offense. But it’s becoming tougher and tougher to gauge the progress of some of the young Seminoles because of the myriad problems.
