We usually do one of these win-loss projection pieces every January, following the ACC’s official schedule release for the Syracuse Orange and the rest of the conference. Earlier this year, we’d landed on a record of 6.33 wins and 5.67 losses for Syracuse over the course of a 12-game schedule. That was not a large margin of error.
A lot has occurred since then — including a brand new football schedule reflecting the conference-heavy construction of this coming season, should it happen. Instead of the customary eight ACC games plus four non-conference games, Syracuse will be playing 10 ACC games and one non-conference contest.
