I mean, App is ranked higher than more than half the ACC according to most computer models, including UVA.
If you watch App, and are familiar with them, you'd know why some people say it won't be easy. You guys "rolled" UAB 31-14 last year. To close 2019 App beat UAB 31-17, finishing the game on a 31-3 run. Beat UNC who you lost to, beat USC who had beaten UGA. In 2018 it was taking Penn State to OT, after App held a 38-31 lead with 30 seconds left. There is a history of success here, and against like opponents, it would seem the teams are even.
We will see. I think Miami's chip from the Alabama game is going to be what drives this game good or bad. Are guys pressing? Did they prep harder than usual? Are they looking forward to Michigan State, who App would be favored to beat, because they are in the Big 10? Time will tell.
Also, 85 degrees at 9 PM is ridiculous and that may end up being the deciding factor of the game by the 4th quarter.
