Earlier, Sean talked about expectations and what you should realistically think this Syracuse Orange football season amounts to (plus "Wet Hot American Summer," of course). Now that we've got that covered, let's see what others think. All of these predicted national rankings are based on some of the most popular 128-team countdown series:
SB Nation (F/+): 78
Syracuse.com: 78
Alright, I can deal with that, given last season and all...
Any perceived "hometown bump" is also nullified by the fact that SBN had the same number.
