Miami Falls to No. 18 in AP Poll After Loss to SMU

SMU ended a 51-year home losing streak against top 10 AP teams with a 26-20 overtime win over Miami, while President Hartzell will pay a fine for fans storming the field.

  • On Nov. 1, the SMU Mustangs football team defeated the Miami Hurricanes football team 26-20 in overtime at Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas, Texas, marking their first home win over an AP Top 10 team since 1974.
  • The Mustangs had just given coach Rhett Lashlee a contract extension Friday, and SMU fans celebrated after the team returned to winning following a loss to Wake Forest last week.
  • Miami's Carson Beck completed 26 of 38 for 274 yards and two touchdowns despite 12 Miami penalties costing 96 yards, while Ahmaad Moses intercepted an overtime pass to seal SMU's win.
  • In the ACC standings, Miami Hurricanes fell a half-game behind SMU Mustangs , and the loss might knock Miami out of the College Football Playoff picture.
  • The Hurricanes will try to rebound Nov. 8 at home against Syracuse, while Miami Hurricanes, once a potential national championship contender, now face a steeper path to the playoff after this loss.
