Game of the Week

 
Saturday, November 18
No recount required in this Florida fight

Chris Weinke
Top 'Nole: Florida State's Chris Weinke.
Game: No. 4 Florida at No. 3 Florida State
Time: 8 p.m. ET
TV: ABC
Records: Florida 9-1; Florida State 10-1

They're fighting for the presidency in Tallahassee this weekend. But it's only the second-most important game in town. Florida visits Florida State in a game that can all but assure the 'Noles a trip to the national title game. The game plan, according to ESPN's John Mackovic, is relatively straight-forward for both teams, but both coaches know that how they handle their in-game decisions will make all the difference. Seminoles QB Chris Weinke, who was hospitalized Friday night with flu-like symptoms, is feeling better today, coach Bobby Bowden said. Bowden said he thinks Weinke will play, but no final decision has been made.
