How can I pass up a spot to argue Syracuse's case for the Final 4???  Anyways, if we were to run the table I definitely think we'd be in the Final 4.  Sure a lot will depend on other resume's, but I don't think it would be possible for 4 other schools to have a better case.  As for starting the season in the 50-70's, they don't do that.  That's why the rankings come out in October.  They watch the first half of the season, and then make a poll.  But if we have wins vs LSU, Clemson, @FSU, @Louisville, and then the Coastal champion we'd be impossible to pass up.  LSU, Clemson, FSU, and Louisville will all start the season ranked.  FSU may be down a bit this year, but I don't think their record will reflect that.  Plus schools like Virginia, NCST, and Pitt are all expected to be better this year. and possibly ranked.  The only ACC opponent, who is expected to be worse is Boston College, but then again that was supposed to be the case this year as well.  The ACC is getting better.  As a conference they have always recruited well, but they now have the coaches to get the most out of the talent.  Last year the ACC was able to hold it's own, or at least out of conference they were.  FSU may be down a bit, but everybody else is improving, so I don't think schedule strength would be a problem.
