Trying so hard to be edgy. SMH.

Yes. They picked Monmouth over Rutgers, Yale over UConn and App State over all the ACC teams in NC.

Maybe Yale is better than UConn but they others are very questionable. These click bait articles designed to get a lot of comments are pretty pathetic.

UB has had more success than we have. We might be the better team but they have more wins the last couple of years.

 

[syrBossHogg]

We'll be the best team after this coming season

Not really.

UB went to a bowl last year and we didn’t. We had a 5 win lack luster year in 2019. Oh what could have been with even a moderately functional OL but that is a different topic.

 

[Trueblue25]

The only UB team that’d be even remotely competitive against SU was 2013 with Mack, Brandon Oliver and Licata.

I feel it’s pretty safe to say that OiG will see cbssports.com in Hell.

Turner Gill has been gone from suny buff for a decade??

good lord...

It's hard to compare the two because of the difference in conference.

UB was set to have possibly their best team ever. They were going to be favored to win 10 of their 12 games (only underdogs against Ohio St and Kansas St.) and were picked to win their conference.

Syracuse would be favored in at least 10 of those 12 too and possibly 11.
