Unranked Syracuse University pulled off a stunning upset against No. 6 Miami, defeating the Hurricanes 42-38 after rallying from a 21-0 deficit. Miami's defense struggled as they blew the early lead, resulting in an epic collapse. The Orange's comeback victory not only ended Miami's hopes for an appearance in the ACC Championship Game but also jeopardized their chances for a College Football Playoff berth. Quarterback Kyle McCord led the Syracuse offense under the guidance of first-year head coach Fran Brown. As a result, Clemson will face SMU in the ACC Championship Game.
