CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein recently published his off-season report for the Atlantic Coast Conference, and it includes several mentions of Syracuse basketball in various categories.
Most notably, Rothstein provides his pre-season power rankings within the ACC ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. He arranges the Orange at No. 6 in the league’s pecking order, and that’s a fair assessment to me, at least as far as early projections go.
I catch grief from my fellow ‘Cuse fans all the time about publishing columns regarding predictions for the Orange this far out from a campaign actually taking place, and that’s cool.
