#4 Miami Hurricanes

If the Miami Hurricanes are just barely scratching the top five on your list of scariest obstacles, then you have quite the schedule on your hands.

The Canes seemed a tad overrated throughout their 2020 run (especially after their encounter with UNC). However, that did not prevent them from slaughtering their in-state rival Seminoles by a final tally of 52-10.

Now new HC Norvell was out due to the Coronavirus, which undoubtedly played some sort of role in the severity of badness that FSU had come to play with.

But head coach or no head coach, the Noles looked like they had forgotten how to play football that night. One mediocre offseason will not rectify a 6-touchdown defeat.

#3: North Carolina Tar Heels

UNC authored an outstanding story for college football last season, and it will just keep getting better every year that Tar Hells HC Mack Brown is calling the shots.

Luckily for the Seminoles, though, Brown has a ceiling. FSU is one of the few major programs that he is yet to beat in his head coaching career, and last season was a golden opportunity for him to do so. However, Florida State somehow found it in them to pull off what was by far their greatest performance of 2020 and completely upset the Heels.

But regardless of how amazing that entire ordeal was, I think it was nothing more than a fluke. And this time around, they play in UNC territory. This one is bound to be ugly for the Seminoles.
