This is going to be very interesting. There will, literally, be no other ranked, or close-to-ranked teams playing that day. I'm not sure if AP or any other polls will re-rank after the game, but if they do, I will be interested to see how much the move Florida down and Miami up when Miami wins. Sometimes, you don't see the winner vault over the loser in Week 1 games.
Would be very surprised if there's another vote after this weekend. I don't think there will be another poll vote until after the true week 1, not week 0.
IMO, if Miami wins, they'll be ranked ahead of Florida. But it will be very close, within a spot or two either way.
For example, if Miami wins I could see jumping up to about #15 and Florida dropping from #8 to #16, something like that. If Miami wins, they'll be very close to one another after Week 1.
