While the Syracuse Orange finished 20th in the final College Football Playoff rankings, they were a bit higher in the last Coaches Poll (and AP Poll) of the season, up at No. 17.
It’s never been a secret which AP voters loved Syracuse and which didn’t since their votes are public each week. However, only the final Coaches Poll reveals individual ballots, so Sunday was the first and only chance to get a glimpse of what coaches really thought of other teams on their respective ballots.
Obviously we’re most interested in the thoughts around Syracuse.
