Syracuse has played 123 seasons of college football.  2024 is currently tied for 12th all-time for wins.

12th all-time!  That's a top 10% season in the[I] century and a quarter [/I]of SU football.

If you look at the regular season only, then this season is 9th all-time.   NINTH!

Now, this isn't to say this is a top 10 all-time SU team.  There are other measures of that besides wins where this team doesn't rank as well.  However, as a fan, the most entertaining thing to experience is wins, and this team is doing that better than all but a couple handfuls of SU teams ever.

I also suspect winning 8 games will help us considerably in attracting players here.  Every coach can sit in a guy's living room this winter and not only sell a vision of the future but also sell tangible results from their very first season.  Evidence, not just faith, is a very powerful tool.

We all have our gripes about certain position groups, certain coaching tactics, certain plays, certain penalties, certain breakdowns, and all that stuff.  But this is a great week to step back and applaud what these staff and players have done.  It's literally one of the best results in the history of the program, and there's still games left to improve on that.
