The No. 6 Miami Hurricanes triumphed over Louisville with a high-scoring 52-45 victory, showcasing a potent offense that racked up 538 total yards.

Meanwhile, the Michigan State Spartans secured a critical 32-20 win against Iowa, highlighted by strong performances from wide receivers Montorie Foster Jr. and Nick Marsh, as well as defensive back Nikai Martinez. In contrast, the Florida State Seminoles suffered their sixth loss of the season, falling 23-16 to Duke, with their offense failing to score a touchdown and only managing points through a kick return. The Seminoles' struggles included committing four turnovers, which Duke capitalized on for 17 points. Florida State's defense performed well, forcing nine punts and recording six tackles for loss, but it was not enough to overcome their offensive woes.
