To make a long story short, the Syracuse football team will have one of the toughest schedules in all of college football, yet again.
Including the 11 ACC teams that went to bowl games, no ACC team will face fewer than seven opponents that went to bowls in 2016, while eight teams will face eight or more opponents that played in the postseason with Syracuse (11) playing the most.
But specifically here’s what we have:
- Central Connecticut State, September 2nd
- Middle Tennessee State, September 9th
- Central Michigan, September 16th
- @ LSU, September 23rd
- @ NC State, September 30th
- Pittsburgh, October 7th
- Clemson, October 13th (Friday)
- @ Miami, October 21st
- @ Florida State, November 4th
- Wake Forest, November 11th
- @ Louisville, November 18th
- Boston College, November 25th
