Two ACC teams fresh off losses will clash tonight looking to bounce back. The Boston College Eagles are in Florida to face the Miami Hurricanes.
Boston College was just one point shy of upsetting Duke on Saturday. It would've been their second ranked win of the season, but instead it became a home loss that dropped them to 8-8. This will be another chance for the Eagles to take down another ranked ACC rival.
Miami's loss at Georgia Tech was disappointing, but they're back home where they haven't lost yet this season. The loss was their first since November, snapping a nine-game winning streak. It was also only their second defeat this season.
Both squads will be looking to bounce back from tough defeats. Let's take a look at how they stack up tonight.

Miami is the better team and playing at home. Boston College's home games against teams that are ranked were impressive, but their lone road showing wasn't competitive at all.
The Hurricanes will run away with this game and maintain their perfect record at home.
