Syracuse football is having a rough year. I understand - it happens. Life was already somewhat tough before the pandemic, and now the Orange struggle to even field a complete roster every weekend. Is there anything 'Cuse fans can take away to feel a little better about their team going into a game against the number one football program in America?

Yes, yes there is.

At the risk of sounding too much like a rah-rah, SEC-SEC-SEC type of a fan, you can take pride in the fact that your team is part of what appears to be the strongest football conference in college football. We're talking six teams in the AP Top 25 (most of any league)!

The ACC can also boast two teams with only wins and no losses, along with four more which have only one loss - again, best in all of FBS.

What's more, you can take solace in the fact that -plus reckons Syracuse, as bad as the football team has been, is still better than Vanderbilt, Rutgers and Kansas.

Oh, yeah, don't forget: right now Syracuse still has more wins than Penn State and Ohio State.

So there you have it, Orange fans - life isn't so bad when you really look at the numbers! Now, go catch a Tiger!
