It will be interesting for the upcoming season, already the fifth for the Orange playing ACC football, to see how the southern-flavored perception plays out as Babers enters his second season of rebuilding to get back to a bowl game.
As recently as the 2014-15 NCAA probation season could have had a potential five game losing streak had the ’Cuse not upset No. 9 Notre Dame in fourth-to-last game of that year.
It’s hard to argue that the ACC isn’t the best top-to-bottom conference nationally in basketball, lacrosse, and who’s not to say now football for that matter.
It’s not logical to think that this team would drop all three games against former Big East rivals, Connecticut, Georgetown and St. John’s now a combined 17-17.
