The Syracuse Orange (4-3, 2-1) suddenly seem very upset-minded to the national college football press -- a fact that should make us both confident and cautious. They’ll put that newfound reputation to the test on Saturday against the No. 8 Miami Hurricanes (5-0, 3-0). A victory for the Orange would be stunning, for different reasons than Friday’s upset was.
Syracuse and Miami will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN (or WatchESPN for those streaming).
So what does the TNIAAM staff think will happen in this game?

I don’t like being confident in Syracuse Football, but if weather holds and the lack of noted home field advantage keeps things neutral, Miami is looking at being down some serious weapons in a game where ‘Cuse will be able to move and make noise on defense.
