Five ACC teams enter the season in the top 25 of the national polls and four of them appear on Syracuse’s schedule.

Syracuse is just 5-18 in games played in November, and one Dec. game, under Dino Babers, with 3 of its 4 games this November on the road.

ACC football analyst Sam Vescovi has NC State atop his Preseason ACC Football Power Rankings, while Syracuse slots in at No. 12.

It will be a fond farewell to the two division format after the upcoming ACC football season in favor of a 3-5-5 format.

Coming off a 6-5 record in 2020, the Panthers were expected to be a competitive team, but not elite. Instead, they had an 11-3 campaign.

Syracuse is home four of the first five weeks, but on the road four of the final six weeks of the schedule.

Syracuse will need to go 7-4 the rest of the way to end the season above .500, and five games are against teams with losing records.

Thanks to a woeful second half performance, Syracuse now has a new contender for their most embarrassing loss of the season.

Up 28-24 at half, Syracuse’s offense completely disappeared after intermission in a tough loss to the Panthers.

As befuddled as the Syracuse faithful are with the current state of the program, Pitt fans would trade their current state with SU.
