The Syracuse Orange are headed into their bye week at 5-4, a mark that has traditionally led to six wins. With the off time to get healthy, the Orange are eying at least one W on the road against Louisville or NC State, or knocking off Pittsburgh on Senior Day at the Carrier Dome.
ESPN’s Bill C updates SP+ each week, which also updates the projected win totals. (SP+ projected Syracuse for between three and four wins at the beginning of the season.) Last week, the Orange had a 50% chance of reaching six wins for the first time since they started 3-1 earlier in the season.
