The Hurricanes were No. 13 in the final rankings by the playoff selection committee to miss out on the 12-team field.

The Hurricanes lost two of their final three games in the regular season to miss out on the ACC Championship Game.

‘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.’

The No. 6 Miami Hurricanes blew a three-touchdown lead — and very likely blew their chances at making the College Football Playoff — in a 42-38 loss to the Syracuse Orange on Saturday at the JMA Wireless Dome.

Kickoff between No. 6 Miami and Syracuse on Saturday is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. from the JMA Wireless Dome and will be televised on ESPN.

It all comes down to this for the Miami Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes wrap up their regular season on Saturday at Syracuse with a spot in the ACC Championship Game on the line.

The win over Wake Forest put Miami back in the top 10 and has them in position to reach the ACC Championship Game if they beat Syracuse on Saturday.

Damari Brown appeared ready to return for the Hurricanes.

‘It meant the world to me. Not just for me but the seniors. It’s their last time here. I’m just proud I made them happy and made the fans happy.’
