Florida State, Georgia Tech must move past rivalry losses and refocus on ACC championship
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jimbo Fisher says the team that wins the ACC championship may be the one that does the best job of moving past a crushing loss to its top in-state rival.
Florida State dropped three spots to No. 13 in Sunday's Associated Press Top 25 following a 37-26 loss to Florida. Fisher's Seminoles (10-2) play Georgia Tech, which must regroup following a lopsided 42-10 loss to Georgia, in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship on Saturday. The winner will play in the Orange Bowl.
It's an unlikely matchup. Georgia Tech is only 6-6 overall but won the Coastal Division with a 5-3 ACC record as Miami self-imposed a bowl ban for the second straight year as it hopes to lessen possible penalties from an ongoing NCAA investigation.
