Thanks for sharing! This is a really tough schedule, especially since the last four games are away from home and the last home game is against a Notre Dame team they’ve had zero success against recently.

Trying to be objectionable but I think outside of Maryland, the first 10 games for the Orange are winnable games. I’m not saying they will win them all, but  the opportunities are there. They play well against Duke, UNC should be down next year. I think Hopkins will be better than most people think (mostly their own fans) but SU should win that game at home. Vermont and their faceoff situation scare me a bit (I think Fifes is a good coach) and Hofstra on a Tuesday night gives me the willies, but those are two games SU absolutely should win if they want to be taken seriously.

Army and Cornell both being off the schedule is really weird to get used to, especially since SU and Cornell have met over 100 times, but I think it’s good to add new blood to keep things fresh. We can nitpick but I imagine they’ll be back in the future.

My heart with this the schedule says something like 9-6. My head says it’s probably closer to 7-8. I think it all comes down to the UNC and Duke games. If they split those games I think they could be in pretty good shape. We shall see, I’ve been wildly wrong about how good or bad the Orange would be preseason, but I think there are lots of reasons to think this SU team will be pretty good.
