The final game of the season did not go the way the Miami Hurricanes expected as they lost to Syracuse 42-38. Because of this, the Hurricanes have dropped in both the AP and Coaches polls to the No. 14 team in the country.

This was also a similar way that the team was ranked last week as they ranked No. 8 in the polls compared to the College Football Playoff rankings where they ranked No. 6. Those two spots might save the Hurricanes a chance to make it into the College Football Playoffs but only time will tell as Championship weekend will play a massive role in how they will finish the reason in the polls.
