The Syracuse football squad is halfway through their season. Here’s what is in store for the Orange in the second half of their season and beyond.

*cues ESPN 30 for 30 music* what if I told you… the Syracuse football squad would be 4-2 after the first six games of the 2018 season? Without knowing the context of what actually happened, I’d assume most Orange fans would be elated.

But knowing the context which is always important makes this season to date a frustrating first half of the season. This is a perfect bye week for the Orange, they have a chance to reevaluate what they really want this season.

Make no mistake about it, this can still be a magical season for the Orange. It’s all within their reach. If they have the same first half result that they’ll have in the second half, the Orange will be 8-4, with a chance at nine wins.

So during this bye week we gathered our entire staff together and got their thoughts on how this season will finish up for Syracuse. Here’s the results we were able to gather together from our panel on the Orange’s future to be in 2018.
