6. No. 6 Miami (10-1) at Syracuse (8-3), 3:30 p.m., ESPN
The selection committee has shown it is willing to forgive one loss as far as the rankings are concerned, and the Hurricanes have benefited from being on the right side of all but one of their close calls. Miami moved up two spots in this week’s rankings, less because of its blowout of Wake Forest and more because of the carnage elsewhere. The Canes still need a win against Syracuse — the quietest eight-win team in the country? — to clinch a spot in the ACC championship against SMU, but if they can get there, they will have a solid case for an at-large Playoff berth even with a loss.
