MIAMI (AP) -- It's not a stretch to say Miami and Virginia are playing for something more than just a win on Saturday.  In fact, the loser might feel the sting for a long time. 

The Hurricanes (6-2, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) need a win to remain viable in the conference title race, plus keep slim hopes of reaching the Bowl Championship Series going.

Virginia (3-5, 2-2) is somehow in the league chase as well, but the bigger issue for the Cavaliers essentially revolves around coach Al Groh's future.

Declining home attendance and a disappointing record have left Groh's status beyond 2009, at best, murky.
