To reach the magic mark of six wins, Syracuse will have to pull off a couple upsets along the way
. They have four games in which they should be favored in, but only one of those will be a Big East game vs. Louisville. Conference play will open with a road trip to South Florida (0-5 all time vs. USF) and Pitt comes to town on Oct 16 for Homecoming. While I believe this team has enough talent to reach a bowl game, I think a 5-7 record will have them on the outside looking in.
