[B]7. Syracuse (9)[/B] 
[I]Foy’s Vote: 6 (9)[/I]

The Orange were ranked No. 9 in the preseason, which suggests that advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals is success. And certainly it is on the heels of missing the NCAA Tournament in each of coach Gary Gait’s first two seasons. But with the biggest, most avid fanbase in the sport, expectations ride quickly and winning one Tournament game is not the standard in Central New York — so the question of whether Syracuse is “back” will be one of those unanswerable debates until next spring.

In the meantime, ’Cuse is poised to bring back one of the most experienced Top 20 teams next season, led by the likes of Joey Spallina, Owen Hiltz, Finn Thomson, Michael Leo, Luke Rhoa, Sam English, Riley Figueiras, Billy Dwan, Nick Caccamo, Caden Kol and more. Question marks persist in goal and, depending on whether Mason Kohn returns for another season, at the face-off X.

Presuming a year of coaching continuity with defensive coordinator John Odierna entering his second season in the Dome, it’s realistic to expect the Orange to take another step forward.
