How to construct Syracuse football’s non-conference schedule going forward

We’re in peak offseason, so I’m just going to stick to what I know: Football scheduling.

Fully acknowledging that I’m a big fan of the Syracuse Orange’s recent shift to more manageable schedules in terms of quality of opponents, there’s still plenty of work to be done to set up a bright future for SU — whether that includes Dino Babers long-term or not (and hopefully it does). While we’re ahead compared to where Syracuse has been of late, scheduling continues to get pushed further and further out. That’s likely to squeeze programs like the Orange that aren’t necessarily brand names and don’t sit in big recruiting areas.
