Ok so here is Syracuse over the same period:

[B]Auburn[/B]
[B]Kansas St. (2)[/B]
UCF (3)
ECU
[I]Rhode Island (2)[/I]
[B]North Carolina[/B]
Toledo (2)
[B]Notre Dame (2)[/B]
Buffalo (3)
Cincinnati
[B]Illinois[/B]
Miami OH
Wyoming
[I]Northeastern[/I]
[B]Northwestern[/B]
[I]Maine (2)[/I]
Akron (2)
[I]Colgate[/I]
[B]Wake Forest[/B]
Tulane

We had 30 OOC wins over the same period, and were 53-80 over that stretch. 6 were vs. FCS opponents and we did not lose to any FCS opponents. We did not play the service academies over that period. 8 of our wins came against MAC opponents, exactly the same as Rutgers during that period. If we played 17 games over the same period vs FCS opponents and Army like Rutgers did, I'm pretty confident we would have had at a minimum 10 more wins. That would put us at 63-70 with 23 conference wins during a very down period for the program, versus 68-67 with 28 conference wins during their "power" years. Even taking the results as they are, we still had 1 more win over a BCS level program during that period, including Auburn and 2 over Notre Dame.

I give Schiano a lot of credit, Rutgers was an absolute abomination prior to him arriving. But what I have posted I'm this thread are the exact reasons why the Syracuse fan base has such a hard time understanding the hype around that program.
