14. #25 Miami (4-1, 0-1): This tweet sums up what happened in Coral Gables on Saturday night:

This is what you get with Cristobal. If they want to win in Miami, he must let go of much of the in-game decision-making.

13. Virginia (1-5, 0-2): The Hoos notched its first win, albeit against FCS William and Mary. It’s also the first win for the Cavaliers since the tragic shooting that happened over a year ago. The victory, however, does not mask the issues in Charlottesville. Virginia needs to decide what they want to be as a program. Saturday’s win might be the only one left on the schedule.

12. Pittsburgh (1-4, 0-2): What’s happening in Pittsburgh? The Panthers lost to Virginia Tech, and quarterback Phil Jurkovec is practicing at tight end. That’s ironic since the Panthers’ leading receiver is tight end Gavin Bartholomew. It doesn’t get any easier when Pitt hosts #14 Louisville on Saturday afternoon.

11. Syracuse (4-2, 0-2): Head coach Dino Babers needs to call “Straight Arrow” Ed Genero for some lessons on finding players from the student population. Syracuse needs receivers. Their top three pass catchers are out, and they don’t have any viable options. Finding two more wins on the schedule might be problematic if they don’t get healthy.
