Hokies and Noles Set To Tangle in Tallahassee
Both Teams Looking For Respect
Bowden and Beamer Vow Not To Get All Lovey-Dovey This Year
12th ranked Virginia Tech will travel to Tallahassee to play the 23rd ranked Seminoles this week. Both teams are vying for a big win in ACC play, and a victory for the Hokies would be a giant step in claiming the ACC Coastal Division crown. Florida State players and coaches are playing up the "no respect" card after, once again, the Seminoles have yet to crack the Top 20 this season, despite their 5-1 record and lone loss to LSU by 7 points in week 3.
The Seminoles have turned to their bag of tricks in previous weeks by lining up talented playmaker Preston Parker all over the field. Last week, Parker took snaps at QB and threw 5 passes (completing 4) against NC State.
The Hokies have been led by the connection between QB Tyrod Taylor and TE Sam Wheeler, and look to use a balanced attack against the Seminoles. A victory in this game would be huge for Florida State, as they need to keep the momentum for future battles against Clemson and Florida later this season. Barring a major collapse, Virginia Tech will win the ACC Coastal Division with ease, so the pressure lies sqaurely on the Seminoles to win this game and keep pace with Clemson in the ACC Atlantic Division.
ESPN's College Gameday crew will be on hand for the game, and you can bet that "The Sunshine Scooner" won't be betting against his beloved Seminoles.

<Auburn Looking To Shock The World
Upsetting #5 Mountaineers "Is Gonna Happen" Says Tuberville
Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville has two goals this week. "We're going to travel up to West Virginia to win that football game," says Tuberville, who's Auburn Tigers are looking to get the statement win that the program needs right now. "I've got a good feeling we'll get up there, take care of business, and reach both of our goals.
Tuberville's second goal is to teach all West Virginians how to read, a part of his "Kick Illiteracy in the Butt" campaign. "I'm not as confident on goal #2," exclaimed Tuberville.

Other Week 9 Games:
Kentucky @ #2 Florida
The Gators look to remain undefeated on their quest for another national title. Next week, the Gators travel to Jacksonville to take on the Georgia Bulldogs in the "World's Largest Cocktail Party." QB Tim Tebow has, somehow, fallen out of the Heisman race, so look for a huge game from him and the rest of the Florida offense. This one could get ugly fast.
Georgia @ #9 LSU
LSU is back in the Top 10 after last week's blowout upset against South Carolina. Coach Les Miles thinks that his Tigers are finally firing on all cylinders, and a victory against Georgia would all but wrap up the SEC West title. This is the first of 4 straight home games for LSU, but it won't be easy, as Georgia has found a new go-to man in WR Mohamed Massaquoi, who lit up the Vanderbilt secondary in week 8. To fire up his troops before the game against the Bulldogs, Coach Miles brought the Snoop D-O-double-jizzle, who insisted that Uga doesn't love him, he just loves his doggy-style.
#14 South Carolina - Open Week
