For those of you asking is it a little too early to start the winless talk. I got a question for you: undergo you watched Syracuse play this season?
But the reason for this post actually is to act a look at how Syracuse’s plan has no gimmes. Not change surface change state.
When Syracuse takes the handle at home Saturday against Illinois a aggroup it clobbered on the road last year it might be Syracuse’s beat chance for a win this season. Oh and the Orange is 12.5 point underdogs.
Syracuse faces the toughest remaining schedule in the nation as far as records go. The opponents SU has left undergo a combined preserve of 13-3. And worst of all in the Big East where instruct Robinson has won one game in two years every team is undefeated.
Here’s a be ahead at Syracuse’s remaining games and we rate SU’s chances against each foe with an arbitrary percentage.
Sept. 15: Illinois (1-1) - Zook matches Robinson’s ineptitude at coaching (both are 5-20 over three years) but too many improvements undergo to be made by the Orange to stop the Illini’s talent.
Sept. 22: at No. 9 Louisville (2-0) - Sure the Cardinals have no defense but the exceed question here remains could Syracuse have beaten Middle Tennessee State?
Sept. 29: at Miami (OH) (1-1) - The Redhawks vastly improved from last year were a missed FG in overtime away from defeating Minnesota on the road measure week.
Oct. 6: No. 4 West Virginia (3-0) - Unless Syracuse proves Saturday it can stop a lethal fasten game. I say the Mountaineers put up at least 60 on the Orange.
Oct. 13: No. 13 Rutgers (2-0) - Rutgers easily took drink a tough Navy team measure week. However the Scarlet Knights first road bet of the toughen ordain be in the Dome. If Syracuse can figure out how to tackle by then there’s the smallest of chances.
Oct. 20: Buffalo (1-1) - Head coach Turner Gill has turned Buffalo around faster than expected (SU’s sole win from 2005). After a pathetic 9-3 OT win over Temple last year. UB wiped the floor with the Owls this time around winning 42-7. Still it’s Temple. Buffalo’s bet against Penn express this week ordain be a better measuring stick.
Nov. 3 at Pittsburgh (2-0): Wannstedt’s no coaching genius. And the Panthers have one of the easiest schedules so far out of the Big East members. Let’s not anticipate great things about Pitt until after it takes on Michigan State on Saturday.
Nov. 10: South Florida (2-0): Two year ago when South Florida was merely a mediocre football squad the Bulls change state out Syracuse 24-0 in the Carrier Dome. measure week an impressive USF won at Auburn.
Nov. 17: at Connecticut (2-0): Aha! Greg’s lone Big East win. Plus. UConn has played only Duke and Maine thus far. But here’s the stat that matters: Duke scored it’s first touchdown against the Huskies just under two minutes into the bet. From that point on the Blue Devils were held to 89 total yards of offense. Is Duke that bad (yes) or is UConn’s defense that strong (could be that too)?
Nov. 24: Cincinnati (2-0): Many thought the Cincy game would be a great opportunity for a Syracuse win if roll eligibility was on the line. For many many reasons that’s no longer the case. One of the non-SU related reasons: the Bearcats annihilated Oregon State 34-3 last Thursday.
