Seniors: SU is more than just an education

In this April 5, 2011 file photo, a police officer instructs Georgina Perez (foreground) and other students to move or face arrest for blocking traffic in Atlanta during a protest calling for higher education rights for students who are not citizens and are in the country illegally. Georgia bars undocumented students from attending the top five public universities in the state, so Perez came to Syracuse University to study. (The Associated Press)

Wow, I love BJ's confidence. You know he's about winning already!
And here's one example where the words "dream school" come to fruition.

LGO.
 
Johnson is not even mentioned in the article about SU being 4th in the ACC. He seems to be flying way under the radar. I hope his dreams come true!

That ACC article is a homer job if I ever saw one. The guy seems to spend a lot of time trying to convince himself that Syracuse will be overmatched by the Blue Bloods. He even takes pot shots at the zone. Here we go again.

I was thinking the same thing. What he wrote about SU seemed to be him trying to rationalize why SU shouldn't be higher.
 
Its not an opinion article thus I don't think it is a homer piece with him trying to rationalize his opinion. The rankings appear to be solely based upon a mathematical model. He does try to rationalize what the numbers say.

It is based on a mathematical model and he uses historical statistics to support his conclusions. I wouldn't call it a homer peice, but speculating on the upcoming season based on last years numbers leaves quite a bit open to interpretation. The part that struck me was how much more he wrote about SU than anyone else, as if he felt he had to justify his ranking of SU at number 4 more than any of his other choices.
