Miami's Playoff Hopes Dim After Syracuse Upset
Miami's College Football Playoff hopes are in jeopardy after a 42-38 loss to Syracuse, which cost them a spot in the ACC Championship Game. Despite a strong start to the season, Miami's lack of wins against ranked opponents and recent losses have left their CFP fate out of their control. With the 18th-best odds to win the national championship, Miami's chances are slim, especially as they won't play again before the final CFP rankings. The Hurricanes' season was marred by a critical coaching decision in the Syracuse game, and they now risk being overtaken by teams like South Carolina or Alabama in the CFP selection.
