I know this thread used to be done annually, but I haven't seen it pop up yet, so I thought I'd take the lead.

It's time to be bold and pick the winner and final score of each regular season Syracuse game. I'll have the admins lock this thread at kickoff on Friday, and we'll see in December who is the best guesser / possibility has the ability to see the future.

I'll start.

Week 1: Syracuse 52 - Colgate 28 (W)
Week 2: Louisville 38 - Syracuse 33 (L)
Week 3: Syracuse 31 - USF 28 (W)
Week 4: Syracuse 40 - UCONN 13 (W)
Week 5: Notre Dame 48 - Syracuse 24 (L)
Week 6: Syracuse 45 - Wake Forest 17 (W)
Week 7: Virginia Tech 45 - Syracuse 34 (L)
Week 8: Syracuse 28 - Boston College 7 (W)
Week 9: Clemson 52 - Syracuse 31 (L)
Week 10: Syracuse 35 - NC State 31 (W)
Week 11: Florida State 49 - Syracuse 28 (L)
Week 12: Syracuse 24 - Pitt 21 (W)

So there we go. 7-5, and we both give up and score a shipload of points.

Your thoughts?
 
Wins
Colgate (52-17)
USF (38-28)
UConn (42-21)
BC (35-17)
Wake (49-35)

Toss Ups
Pitt (L, 35-28)
NC State (W, 42-35)
Louisville (W, 38-35)
Va Tech (L, 35-21)

Losses
ND (45-21)
Clemson (38-35)
FSU (48-28)

Think we go 7-5, beating Louisville and NC State from the Toss Up category. But it's gonna be fun.

I'd be happy to replace two of those Ws for one against Clemson/FSU/ND just for the national wow coverage
 
Just give me some of that College Bowl game action!
 
Colgate W (52-17)
Louisville L (37-40)

PITT Brown Kiwi Shafer's Revenge Bowl W (32-28)

7-5
 
Week 1: Syracuse 43 - Colgate 21 (W) - Semi uncomfortable at halftime, 2nd half we pull away
Week 2: Louisville 34 - Syracuse 24 (L) - Keep it close, but not ready to win this game yet
Week 3: Syracuse 31 - USF 24 (W) - Bounce back and revenge from last year
Week 4: Syracuse 30 - UCONN 17 (W) - Score a couple early and force the doggies to change their gameplan, unsuccessfully
Week 5: Notre Dame 45 - Syracuse 27 (L) - Overwhelmed, we move the ball at times, but can't get stops
Week 6: Syracuse 37 - Wake Forest 20 (W) - It's still Wake
Week 7: Virginia Tech 34 - Syracuse 24 (L) - Similar to ND game, but VT doesn't put it away until late
Week 8: Syracuse 31 - Boston College 17 (W) - Much like UConn, we score early and often. Eagles can't keep up
Week 9: Clemson 62 - Syracuse 27 (L) - Playoff team on the road, I'm not thinking good things here.
Week 10: Syracuse 28 - NC State 24 (W) - A little beat up from the season, but find a way to pull this one out.
Week 11: Florida State 42 - Syracuse 38 (L) - We lay it on the line, and we keep FSU sweating, but D can't get the stop at the end
Week 12: Pitt 24 - Syracuse 21 (L) - Much like the opposite of Wake, I'll need to see us beat them before I can say we get the W.

6-6 and we go bowling. Anything more is gravy. We make highlight reels and the recruits start buying in. The future is so bright, we'll need shades. :cool:

Have to hold serve on the AAC schools, WF, BC and Colgate and win one of the Pitt, VT and NC State games. I think we do.

War Damn Otto!
 
Much like other threads surprised at the Pitt picks.

Am I the only one who feels like we're a better team that only lost to them by one point last year?

Don't get the VTech love. New coach, new system, QB that's servicable, at best, questions on defense...

8-4 (5-3) 32 ppg

This is my ideal scenario for this season, we would need nearly everything to break perfectly for us to get there, but I think there is an outside chance.

VT scares me because I think they have a better team than we do, and a coach that is very similar to ours in terms of offensive philosophy. Since I think they're ahead of us to start with, I'm not sure that home field will make up the difference.

I would love to be wrong though, because I'm going to that game.
 
7-5. We get a upset win vs the Ville but also have a disappointing loss. I think we will play well at home.

Week 1: Syracuse 48 - Colgate 24 (W)
Week 2: Syracuse 34 - Louisville 31 (W)
Week 3: Syracuse 38 - USF 24 (W)

Week 10: Syracuse 35 - NC State 31 (W)
Week 11: Florida State 42 - Syracuse 23 (L)

Neil has pushed all his chips to the middle.

Love it.

You're going to be wrong. They are aholes. We will win.

If we lose it's because the refs cheated.

aholes. All of them.
