After the Syracuse Orange football team knocked off Virginia Tech on Saturday, they sit at 4-4 with at least some chance to make a bowl game. Recent history’s a toss-up around whether or not SU can get to the postseason, but still: We have some hope with four weeks left. That’s a plus.
For starters, ESPN’s FPI gives Syracuse a 35.4% to win six games or more, though the next two games are the most likely to net victories. Team Rankings says 39%. But ultimately, a lot hinges on the Boston College game.
