Syracuse Basketball: No, Seriously, That Clemson Loss Isn't Looking Bad Anymore

Last week, I insisted that of the Syracuse Orange's seven losses so far, only one (St. John's) was unequivocally bad. I also claimed another (Clemson) was trending up. Well...

The Clemson Tigers upset Miami this weekend too, and are now just outside the top 25.

The Clemson Tigers are just a half-game back of North Carolina for first in the ACC standings.

The Clemson Tigers are up to 81st in ESPN's RPI numbers (can vary at other outlets).

The Clemson Tigers are 3-1 against the top 25 this season -- the second-best mark in the country.
