There you were, going about your day, when someone hit you (Sean) with a terrifying fact this morning:
EFFFFFFFFF.
Now, that ignores the appearance of several other ACC schools on this list of "longest drought since last AP poll appearance," including Wake Forest, Boston College, Pittsburgh and Virginia. But the fact of the matter is that Syracuse has not been ranked in 214 (!!!!!) straight AP polls, a longer wait than any other school in the conference (and second-longest of any power conference school, for that matter). Their last ranking? The final poll of the 2001 campaign, when the (then-) Orangemen finished a 10-3 season ranked 14th.
