at N.C. STATE (9-3)
Kickoff: 12:30 p.m.
TV: ESPN GamePlan.
Line: Florida State by 5 1/2.
Florida State update: The Seminoles, written off early and later revived, can clinch the ACC title and an automatic spot in one of the BCS bowl games with a victory over N.C. State or a Maryland loss.
N.C. State update: The Wolfpack is reeling with three consecutive losses after a 9-0 start. With 46 passing yards, quarterback Philip Rivers will become the third quarterback in ACC history to throw for 3,000 yards twice.
Story line: Florida State, surprisingly, is one step from taking its place at a BCS bowl game.
The pick: Florida State. After three losses in a row, N.C. State looks cooked.
