These 5 ranked teams are on upset alert in Week 12
NC State Wolfpack Vs #15 Miami Hurricanes
The Miami Hurricanes have crept right back into the College Football Playoff race, and this weekend they'll look to handle business while teams ranked ahead of them play pivotal games. NC State isn't going to be an easy out, as they proved two weeks ago with a stunning upset win over Georgia Tech.
Why NC State can win
The NC State Wolfpack just upset Georgia Tech two weeks ago proving they can play with the best teams in the ACC. The bye week came at a perfect time, as it's allowed Justin Joly and Hollywood Smothers time to recover from injury. The Wolfpack have the exciting weapons to make this game a shootout, which is the best path to victory as it would put all the pressure to perform on Carson Beck.
Why Miami won't lose
The Hurricanes have a massive talent advantage like they do in every ACC game they play to the point where all they need to do is play a clean game. Mario Cristobal's team has been given new life in the Playoff race with all the chaos around them, and he won't let his team come out flat.
