Fans have fallen in love with this underdog story all season, calling the Red Hawks a potential Cinderella team. Their high-powered offense has carried them far, and now the whole country is watching the sea if they can keep the magic going.

As Miami exploits that, they could pull off an upset, setting up a possible clash with
