On Saturday, Miami hosts North Carolina State in a game that the Hurricanes must win in order to stay alive in the hunt for the College Football Playoff (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The Hurricanes handled Syracuse 38-10 last week, leaving three games remaining on the regular season schedule.
Miami (7-2) must win out to have a chance to play for the national title. With five teams in the conference with one loss, it is unlikely that Miami will play in the conference championship game, so the team’s best bet is to earn an at-large berth into the field of 12.
