Ever since joining the ACC, the frequency of intense rivalry games has dramatically decreased for the Syracuse Orange. That’s largely in part due to the fact that Syracuse really doesn’t have many “rivals” in the ACC. There are no more old-school, Big East-style games since the conference split apart in 2013, and many SU games do not recreate the same feeling in the Carrier Dome for fans anymore.
To be fair to Syracuse and the ACC, the pair are also only entering their eighth year together, so there’s still a lot of history to be made.
