Once again we saw the number one team in the nation fall this weekend as the Syracuse Orange beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in an 11-10 game. Syracuse has now played in a program record seven one-goal games. The Orange were rewarded with the second spot in the polls while Notre Dame falls but remains in the top five of every poll.
Say what you will about this Syracuse team, but the Orange clearly know how to win in tight games, something that will help them tremendously in the post-season.
I know that a lot of you thought SU should be the overall number one ranking, but after watching Penn State last night it is hard to argue the 10-0 Nittany Lions as the number one after their on-field performance.
