One of the best modern-day rivalries in college football resumes on Saturday when the No. 3 Miami Hurricanes and No. 18 Florida State Seminoles collide at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla.

Beginning in the 1980s, the Hurricanes and Seminoles played in a series of high-caliber clashes with fantastic finishes. But both programs eventually endured tough times, reducing the rivalry to second-tier status on the national level.

This year, Miami (4-0) has established itself as a major national championship contender after knocking off Notre Dame in the season opener. Led by arguably the best defensive player in the country in Rueben Bain Jr. , the Hurricanes have been suffocating on defense, allowing just 11.5 points per game, which ranks ninth in the country.
