Two ACC teams will be featured on the early Saturday afternoon game on ABC in week 12 of the college football season when the 10^th-ranked Louisville Cardinals travel to Miami Gardens, Florida to face the Miami Hurricanes at the Hard Rock Stadium with the game kicking off at 12:00 PM ET.

With a win, the Louisville Cardinals will face the Florida State Seminoles in the ACC Championship game, and will be the first time the Louisville Cardinals have played in the ACC Championship since joining the conference. The Cardinals enter this game with a record of 9-1 which includes a record of 6-1 in the ACC and are on a three-game winning streak since losing to the Pittsburgh Panthers on the road by a score of 21-38 which was their only loss this season and are coming off a 31-24 win at home against the Virginia Cavaliers. Louisville features a high-scoring offense that is averaging 32.7 points per game while having an above-average scoring defense that is tied for the 12^th fewest points per game with an average of 17.1 points per game. 

The Miami Hurricanes will be going to a bowl game this season after missing bowl season last year as they enter this game with a record of 6-4, however, they are on a two-game losing streak following Saturday’s 20-27 loss on the road against their in-state rival, the Florida State Seminoles, Miami’s defense has been solid for the majority of the season as they enter this game allowing an average of 20.7 points per game, however, their offense has been inconsistent this season as they were averaging 43.75 points per game in their first four games this season and have only averaged 22.33 points per game over their last six games while losing four of those contests.
