The No. 6 Hurricanes will miss the ACC Championship Game and could potentially miss out on the College Football Playoff, all following a 9-0 start, after a 42-38 loss to Syracuse. SMU will play Clemson in Charlotte instead.

If we get the chance to go in the playoff, we’re gonna make the most of it. We don’t care if we’re a top-eight seed or we’re the 12th seed. In the playoffs, it’s anybody’s chance. We just hope we can get a shot.

Miami coaches Mario Cristobal and Lance Guidry are receiving the heap of the blame for Miami's loss to Syracuse on Saturday.
