Week 11 of the 2024 college football season wasn’t full of banner performances for FBS teams from the state of Florida . It marked the first time in the FBS era — dating back to 1978 — that a state went 0-6 in a single week. Florida State , Florida, Miami , UCF , USF and FAU all lost their respective games, while FIU was idle.
The only ranked team of the bunch, Miami, dropped its first game of the season with a 28-23 loss to Georgia Tech on the road. As CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm writes, Miami holds the conference tiebreaker over Clemson .
“Miami would win a tiebreaker with Clemson because of a better record against common ACC opponents,” Palm wrote. “The difference would be the Canes’ win over Louisville , the team that beat the Tigers. The tie with Pitt would go to at least the fourth tiebreaker, which is the record of each team’s conference opponents. That cannot be determined yet. The tiebreaker after that is the team’s rating by Sports Source Analytics, which is not publicly available.”
