You aren't wrong. What DePaul is in basketball SU is in football. A doormat with no chance of ever getting back to what we once were. SU was good in the 80's and 90's but that era of college football is dead and buried. SU can't compete anymore in the current set-up of college football. Much like a school like DePaul or St.Johns can't compete in college basketball like they could in the 70's and 80's. The current era is based on MONEY, facilities and the playoff system now in place. SU even if they ran the table  in a given year wouldn't be guaranteed of a playoff spot in the Final Four. That's all you need to know. The ACC is weak more years than not and even going unbeaten you might not make the playoff. SU will never get back to relevance in football, its a hard fact to accept but its a true fact.

So if you can't win it all due to circumstances outside your control, the bar is set low at Syracuse. Win 6 games and go to a bowl get some extra weeks of practice for the next year. Because after the playoff all bowl games are essentially meaningless and the same. I mean does it matter if you are in the Texas Bowl, Independence Bowl, Music City Bowl, or Pinstripe bowl...honestly, no! It doesn't. Even with the bar set low SU still struggles to reach it. It's amazing
