Projection: likely out

Syracuse’s profile features a few resume-building home nights, most notably wins over Tennessee and SMU and a high-scoring showing against California, but those highlights are overwhelmed by damaging neutral-site losses to Houston, Kansas and Iowa State and a parade of road setbacks at Duke, Virginia, North Carolina, NC State, Louisville and Wake Forest. Inconsistent results against mid-tier opponents such as Hofstra and Clemson have further eroded the case, so without a deep run in the conference tournament or a string of surprise road upsets the Orange are left with too much bad road and neutral-site history for the committee to comfortably reward.
