It’s that time of year when college football writer Phil Steele releases his evaluations and predictions for the season, including for Syracuse football.
Last year, he picked Syracuse football to finish dead last in the Atlantic Division and this year, according to a recent article from Syracuse.com writer Emily Leiker, he has a bit more optimism but not much.
Phil predicts in 2023 that the Orange will finish 10th in the ACC but still make a bowl game. And as far as ranking position groups, he seems to only think the linebackers (5th) and quarterbacks (6th) are worthy of a top 10 rating.
