You do know that Miami has not been impressive, right?  Nobody is impressed.  Not even Miami.

You do know that Syracuse almost beat LSU.

You do know that Syracuse could have won the NCState game.

The best thing Miami has going for them is the fact that Syracuse has not learned how to perpetually win.

Remember, Syracuse does not need to win, only keep it a contest, to gain credibility.  If Miami wins as they have done this year, they will continue to be disrespected because Miami is unimpressive in victory and they haven't played tough competition, FSU lost their starting QB who is the real deal, GATech almost walked away with the W.   VATech will lose to Miami, ND might pull off a victory.  UVA, though a decent team, should not give Miami a major test.  Thus, beating Syracuse does nothing to impress the poll voters.  However, if Miami does not thrash Syracuse, or worse - loses, Miami will be downed faster than a cheeseburger in front of a hungry lineman.  I give Miami an 80-85% chance to win the game, but it is highly unlikely they get any style points.  Clemson still has the inside track to win the Atlantic and probably the ACC.

P.S. Miami is too streaky right now to beat Clemson.  Assuming a match-up in the ACCCG, Clemson will not give up and if Miami let's them have a half of dominance, Miami will not gather enough steam to beat them.  Clemson has athletes and depth to match Miami.  Even with a 2nd string QB, Clemson is a tough out for Miami.
