The idea of facing Bowl teams used to mean something before there were 35 bowls. The new translation is that Syracuse faces 6 winning teams. However, it would be more accurate to include PSU as a winning team since they were not bowl eligible. In reality, we face 7 teams with winning records from last season, 8 if we count Wagner's winning season, too (they are 1AA or FCS so some may not want to count them on the same level as BCS).
