The ‘Canes’ College Football Playoff hopes also may have been dashed in the shootout, in which the teams combined for more than 980 yards and 51 first downs.

Cam Ward and the Miami Hurricanes lost 42-38 to Kyle McCord and Syracuse. UM will not play in the ACC championship and could miss the CFP.

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.
