Sitting at 6-0 now, with wins over UConn and Texas A&M, and a Battle 4 Atlantis championship in their pockets, the Syracuse Orange basketball team is now ranked in both polls. SU debuts in the USA Today Coaches Poll at 19th overall, and a surprising 14th in the AP Poll. Syracuse had not received votes in either poll last week.
In the AP, Syracuse sits 68 votes ahead of 15th-ranked Oregon, who's also undefeated. They're also 92 votes behind Gonzaga at 13, who they would've faced in the Battle 4 Atlantis final if not for the Bulldogs' loss the Aggies the day before.
