Did Miami's loss to Syracuse knock the Hurricanes out of the College Football Playoff entirely?
Miami will surely drop from No. 6 after its 42-38 defeat to the Orange. But how far will it fall? And if the Hurricanes are in the provisional 12-team field on Tuesday, will they stay in the official field on Dec. 8?
It may come down to the ACC title game — a game that Miami isn't a part of. By losing to Syracuse, Miami lost its chance to play SMU for the conference title. The Mustangs will instead play Clemson.
