[I]Current seed projection: First four out[/I]

[I]A Final Four team last season, the Orange are so enticing because they’re a national brand with a cranky Hall of Fame coach, though the roster is mostly new. The most reliable player is a transfer from Colorado State who began his career at Little Rock, and almost nobody knew about him until a few weeks ago. [URL='http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/players/playerpage/2018499/john-gillon']John Gillon[/URL] has been one of the five biggest breakout players this season. Wins over Virginia, Duke, Florida State and Miami could vault [URL='http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/teams/page/CUSE/syracuse-orange']Syracuse[/URL] into the field. But the Orange are certainly not in yet. Two wins would lock them in, I think. That means beating Georgia Tech, then winning the first game in ACC tournament play. A loss in either one, and the committee would be justified in sending Syracuse to the NIT. That RPI is stinky right now, and will loom especially large unless it rises into the 60s -- at least -- by the time the committee makes its decision. [/I]
