Link to article- he rates 55 teams as buy, hold or sell: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/seth_davis/01/02/stock.report/2.html
What he said about 'Cuse:
SYRACUSE (15-0, No. 1): BUY
I was tempted to rate the Orange a Sell based on the nowhere-to-go-but-down theory, but as I looked at their Big East schedule, it was hard to pick a game they should lose until the middle of February. It speaks volumes about this team's collection of talent that its most talented player, sophomore guard Dion Waiters, is not even a starter. Yes, this team has a few warts (free throw shooting chief among them) but who doesn't? Syracuse is probably going to be a number one seed, and teams who aren't used to going up against that zone will have a hard time beating it in the tournament.
