Eye on the U: Can Miami beat Syracuse and secure their spot in the ACC Championship Game?

The Miami Hurricanes bounced back from their loss to Georgia Tech with a resounding 42-14 win over Wake Forest.

Now, it sets up the biggest matchup (so far) of the season when No. 6 Miami travels to face Syracuse on Sunday.

The situation: Win, and the Hurricanes are in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game against No. 9 SMU on Dec. 7 in Charlotte. Lose, and the Miami is holding its breath to see if it can somehow sneak in as an at-large for the 12-team College Football Playoff.

In the latest episode of Eye on the U, Miami Herald Hurricanes beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre C. Fernandez break down the win over Wake Forest, preview the Syracuse matchup and dive into the latest College Football Playoff ranking and all the chaos that has ensued in college football the past couple of weeks.
