You ever play a video game on easy or normal difficulty and go, “I enjoy a challenge or two, let’s go to hard mode,” and immediately regret that decision?
Right now, the Syracuse Orange have discovered that they’ve been playing their Quest for Tony on hard mode. The Orange lost to the N.C. State Wolfpack, dropping to 3-3. If you don’t math or chart so well, here’s the deal: there are exactly three games Syracuse will be “favored” in by computers. One of them is this Friday. There’s about a 36% chance the Orange miss a bowl, and a 32% chance they finish with exactly 3 wins.
