So far, if you were to look at the vast majority of pre-season predictions, the season has played out exactly as expected.  The only split most people had was whether or not Syracuse would beat Maryland.  All of the other games have happened as expected, though I think that the Villanova, Clemson, and FSU games turned out to be closer than most people expected.

So, I don't really get all of the angst.  It's not like we came into the season expecting to win all of these games.

Now, the rubber really meets the road.  Most Syracuse fans have been expecting (or at least predicting the possibility of) 2-3 wins out of the NC State/Duke/Pitt/BC stretch.  Since SU missed the chance for a win on the swing game against Maryland, now the season hinges on whether they can win 3 of these games or not to make a bowl game.  Given how the other teams have played lately, I think that the NC State game is 60/40 win, Duke is 25/75 loss, Pitt is 50/50 win, and BC is a 40/60 loss.  That would be a 5-7 final record which would be disappointing, but not entirely unexpected if you look at preseason expectations.
