Agree with the last part. Color me the lone ranger but I don't really buy the SU does not get any respect argument, any more than I expect all but a few teams think they get shorted on respect nationally and in the media, or care.  The national media is sometimes not going to have as sophisticated knowledge of the team as the fan base, and if they see 3 top scorers depart its going to default to a big drop.  Having said that, I recognize Bleacher Report immediately elevated SU to 4th in ACC, so it does not take rocket science to figure out where SU should generally (or minimally) fall with the addition of White, but I think the lack of respect argument is overplayed by players, overplayed by fans and overplayed by Syracuse fans, particularly given the high volume of SU alum in the media.  In any event, it is all white noise -- I get that there is some satisfaction in an early season ranking and some irritation being "under-ranked" but in the end it matters not in college hoops, now so more than ever with the current state of the ACC.
