4. There are still nine games left in the season.
For real though. All of these fans jumping off the bandwagon and saying this season is over need a chill pill. There are still nine games left in the season. 75 percent of the schedule is still in front of this squad.
The Orange still control their own destiny.
Now winning the conference? Those dreams are likely over.
Syracuse has lost the head-to-head vs Clemson and the Tigers don’t have a top-25 opponent remaining on their schedule.
Although winning the conference was a pipe dream, something that was fun to talk about, but wasn’t likely.
Now that’s over, so the Orange can focus on doing whatever they want. At 1-2, Syracuse can win their last nine remaining and actually improve from last season to finish 10-2.
Up next Syracuse has two home games against teams they should be able to beat vs Western Michigan and Holy Cross. All of a sudden you’re 3-2 with a bye week to prepare yourself for an all-important four-game ACC slate that’ll decide your season.
There are still nine unwritten chapters in this 2019 book, Syracuse decides how this story will be told at the end of the season.
