247 Sports has a review for every undefeated teams first lost. Here is what they had to say about SU. They are going to have to rewrite this next month after SU is still undefeated.

Projected first loss: N.C. State (Oct. 15)
Remember when Syracuse coach Dino Babers was on the hot seat? So much for that. The Orange are one of two unbeatens left in the ACC alongside Clemson. This is where the attention begins to wear off, however. Syracuse plays N.C. State, Clemson and Notre Dame over its next three games. There's no way the Orange get through that three-game stretch without a loss. Games against Pittsburgh, Florida State and Wake Forest follow. So, no disrespect to Syracuse, but team identity is not yet clear with its most difficult games still to be played.
