They take the following 2 things into consideration

1 - the eye test. "Listen guys syracuse lost 3 close games on the road to 3 of the best teams in the country. Is monmouth gonna be tied with 5 minutes left at virginia? Or up 8 in 2nd half at miami? How many bubble teams syracuse is competing with are gonna be down 1 with a minute left at north carolina? These are road games against 1 and 2 seeds. Theyve only gotten blown out in a couple games, they can compete with any team in the country, and theyve proven that on the road, not at home".  Plus our 2 best wins were also away from home. Do any other bubble teams have better 2 wins than at duke and texas a&m neutral?

2 - our 3 worst losses were without boeheim. Boom.

Theres always a surprising team that gets in and jay bilas will interview a committee member and say "how did team x get in over team y who everyone had in"  and i can easily see the committe member giving the above reasons for putting stracuse in.

But having said that, i fully expect us to be out, but no matter what happens until selection sunday i think we'll have a chance.
