FLORIDA STATE QB TATE RODEMAKER UNCERTAIN FOR ACC TITLE GAME

Already down its starting quarterback, No. 4 Florida State may be faced with another change behind center ahead of the ACC Championship Game vs. No. 14 Louisville on Saturday night. Tate Rodemaker has not been a full participant in practice and is a game-day decision, coach Mike Norvell told reporters Friday.

Norvell said Rodemaker began to feel "symptoms" Sunday from a hit he absorbed during the team's Week 13 win at Florida. He exited in the fourth quarter following a hit to the head but returned just a couple of plays later to complete a go-ahead touchdown drive after passing initial concussion tests, according to Norvell. It was Rodemaker's first start after Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending injury in a Week 12 win against North Alabama.

The Hot Ticket

Pac-12 Championship Game: No. 5 Oregon vs. No. 3 Washington, 8 p.m. | TV: ABC

The Pick: Oregon -9.5 (-110)

Key trend: The Ducks are 4-1 ATS in their last five games.

SportsLine expert Barrett Sallee is 8-1 in his last nine ATS picks involving the Huskies.

"The Ducks will get revenge in dynamic fashion in this one. In fact, they've been the better team for the majority of the season except for those 60 minutes in Seattle earlier this year. The Huskies offense has been tailing off, and the Ducks rank No. 7 in the country in scoring defense. The line looks high, but it isn't high enough. Bo Nix is about to go off and close out a very strong case to win the Heisman Trophy."
