7. Syracuse

The move: Big East to ACC
Improved visibility: B-
Competitive standing: C
Future outlook: D+
Overall grade: C-
Syracuse has had to fight to become bowl eligible, let alone relevant, in the top-heavy ACC Atlantic Division. With Florida State and Clemson there, is there any hope of the Orange ever winning a conference title?
Games against Florida State and Clemson garnered solid TV ratings. But the Orange were tattooed a combined 108-17 in those two meetings.
With old Big East foe Louisville joining the Atlantic, it's not going to get any easier for Syracuse, either.

Someone please tell Jake Trotter we finished 3rd in the Atlantic Division, when most "experts" picked us dead last.

Oh, you mean the Louisville team we have gone 3-3 in the last 6 with (including a 1 point loss and another 1 TD loss)? Wow. Louisville is going to be a gamebreaker for us.

Reading the intro, I think he is talking on-field outlook only. The off-field stuff is an "A" no-brainer.

I also think the actual football competitiveness going forward is better than a "D", but that's another topic.

ESPN... you really amaze me sometimes.

We finished third in our division despite having a freshman QB and a new coach in a new conference.

Go home Jake, you're an idiot.

this is what happens when you have no factory jobs in america- a guy who could barely handle pushing a broom in the days of real jobs ends up as a broadcast major working at a puke network because there are no factory jobs anymore-

way too many lawyers and broadcast majors now a days because of the loss of the middle class and the internet-lol
