Ok, well I will acknowledge two specific disconnects on this.
 
First, that you guys actually WANT to play Maryland specifically.  To me, I can't stand Maryland.  Nobody in the ACC other than Coach K appeared to care about them.  But they can beat you.  But if that game has some extra special meeting for Syracuse, then that should be considered.
 
Second, there is a disconnect between where I think you guys are and where you guys think you are.  I see you guys as being a solid underdog to Maryland.  You guys see Maryland as a game you should definitely win.  So we'll let the season play out.  If you guys win 8-9 games and Maryland wins 4, then your evaluation of what kind of game the Maryland game is will be more accurate than mine.  I'm seeing you guys struggling to get to bowl eligibility this year, and Maryland winning 8-9 games.  To me, you can beat Maryland next year, but they should beat you.
 
I hope I'm very wrong.  Hell, I'll be pulling for you guys today, and if you win that game that could change my perspective.  While I think historically as a program Maryland is a team Syracuse as an institution should beat pretty easily, I don't see that where you are as a program right now with your athletes.  But you guys should know better than me, so we'll let the season play out and I'll root to be wrong.
 
Anyway, while it's possible depending on how the season plays out that I'm wrong specifically on the Maryland thing with specifically Syracuse, I still believe strongly in the scheduling philosophy that I'm talking about in the general.
