The OPs comments are based to much on fandom.
My argument for playing Miami is fairly simple. FSU has lost a in losing Smith at TB and Parker/Carr/Forgetting the other person. I think FSU will have some trouble early on.
Miami has to prove they can stop the run as FSU has everyone back on the Oline.
I think it goes either way.

No, Actually im level headed, and i bet against my canes all the time. im trying to help fellow posters kill there books.
Miami finally has an offensive cordinator worth a shit!
Mark Whipple- he worked as a quarterback coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers and as an offensive assistant coach with the Philadelphia Eagles.
he spent 16 years as a coach in Division I-AA football. The highlight of his college career was coaching Division I-AA University of Massachusetts, where he posted a record of 49–25 with two conference championships. He was coach of UMass from 1998-2003<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>. He won the NCAA Division I-AA national title in 1998<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup>.
Miami leads the series with Florida State 30-23
Seminoles have won three of the last four matchups.
Seminoles losing gregg carr and preston parker are gonna be too much and antone smith!
Miami looks to have the talent to be a contender again. Sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris is expected to be the leader of the offense. Graig Cooper and Javarris James give Miami a dynamic running back tandem. Harris, linebacker Sean Spence, defensive end Marcus Robinson and wide receivers Aldarius Johnson and Travis Benjamin lead an outstanding sophomore class. The defense should improve now that linebacker Colin McCarthy and safety Randy Phillips have returned from injuries that sidelined them for most of the 2008 season

The Hurricanes kick off the 2009 season tonight at Florida State, and never in recent memory have their been so many unanswered basic questions.
What kind of sets will the offense run?
Will Sam Shields start at CB? Will Marcus Forston start at DT? Will Vaughn Telemaque play more than JoJo Nicolas? Will Allen Bailey and Forston get reps at end?
The team was shrouded in secrecy this fall by coach Randy Shannon, as he sought to keep under wraps any surprises his new coordinators brought with them. The answers to the secrets will come fast and furious this evening. So what can fans expect?
Well, only one thing is for sure: This is not your 2008 Miami Hurricane football team.
The 2009 version will gamble on offense. And ... gasp ... get ready for a downfield passing game. Gone are those horizontal 15-yard throws that never netted any yards under Patrick Nix. The predictable second-and-six runs are also gone.
This offense will thrive on being unpredictable. A third-and-one pass? Bank on it.
On offense there could be some razzle-dazzle plays. Look for innovative, irregular formations.
On defense expect more blitzes and better defensive backs play - thankfully Brandon Harris, Shields and Demarcus Van Dyke have stepped up and shown they can handle the load, and Chavez Grant should be able to lock things down in three-receiver threats.
Overall the CaneSport staff feels secure in saying this offense will be much more effective than a year ago ... as long as Jacory Harris stays healthy. After all, how can it not be? The numerous freshmen that saw significant reps a year ago are a year older. And the offensive coordinator position got a big step up with the hiring of Mark Whipple.
On defense the CaneSport staff entered this fall highly concerned about the cornerback spot and secure in the depth and talent level at defensive line and linebacker.
Now a bit of that is reversed. With the loss of ends Adewale Ojomo and Eric Moncur, who both were likely starters if healthy, the push upfield won't be as good.
Which gives the quarterback more time to throw.
And, while the cornerback position has shown improved play, that extra time will leave receivers open from time to time.
So yes, we think FSU will get its points tonight. But we also expect Miami's offense to turn in some big plays and put up some points. A shootout? It's possible, and that might not be a bad thing for the Canes. After all, when's the last time you saw a Miami team put up over 400 yards and 30+ points against a top 25 team?
We think that could happen tonight.
And, hopefully, the Canes find a way to win as they always did in the good old days.
Miami players have behaved off the field and performed well in the classroom. UM's most recent Academic Progress Rate score of 976 ranked second in the ACC and seventh in the nation.
look whos the new thug U!!!!
<!-- End Image--> Only two Miami players have been arrested since 2005, according to a report in The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun this summer that listed defending national champion Florida with 24 arrests and Florida State with 13 arrests during the same period.
Something to keep in mind...
The last 2 meetings between these 2 schools have been high-scoring with scores of FSU 41, UM 39 (2008) and UM 37, FSU 29 (2007). However, both of those meetings were in the middle of the season. Around October.
The 3 games prior to that were defensive match-ups with little to no scoring. All 3 games were played on Labor Day. In 2006, FSU won 13-10. In 2005, FSU won 10-7. In 2004, UM won 16-10 in OT.
