Miami will play for a national championship on its own turf after mounting a late comeback victory over Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff semifinals. Carson Beck surprised everyone by using his legs to scamper in for a go-ahead score with 18 seconds to give the Hurricanes a 31-27 advantage and Trinidad Chambliss's last-second prayer to the back of the end zone went unanswered.
Miami now awaits the winner of the Indiana-Oregon rematch in the championship. It's a remarkable turn of events considering that the two-loss side was thought to be on the outside looking in at the 12-team field before the selection committee had a change of heart and put them in over Notre Dame. That decision has since been validated and the U is all the way back.
