Big picture question/statement: Cohen needs Scott Shafer and SU, and needs to build a relationship. While I get the fact that everything Cohen writes isn't going to be written with Orange-colored glasses, I just don't for the life of me understand why he continues to pile on and use negative tones when it is completely unnecessary.
 
Why must he interject in the article that Syracuse is "second tier"? Also, what authority does he have to write that? Newsflash: Tennessee lost to Missouri at home last year. Syracuse went on the road and beat that same team. Yet Tennessee is a "top tier" program and SU is not, of course. Not to mention the whooping the Orange put on WVU and Louisville.
 
One season does not make you "top tier". I will agree with that. But under zero circumstances does he have any right to call any team "first tier" or "second tier". He's not a football analyst who is seen as an expert - he's a football beat writer. And a hack of one at that.
