49. Syracuse

The good

The Dino Babers era has brought new life to the Orange. From ACC bottom dwellers to legitimate contenders, optimism is peaking at Syracuse.

The bad

The Cuse are far from a blue blood program and have missed more bowl games over the past decade than they’ve made.

The bottom line

Formerly of the Big East, the Orange have made their presence felt on the national stage in recent years. Their zealous fan base goes beyond the basketball court, packing the Carrier Dome and turning it into a loud house that gave Clemson fits.

With no clear runner up to Clemson in the ACC, the Cuse are looking to cement themselves as a college football power — the fans are backing them every step of the way. It’s a tough ask, but there won’t be a lack of passion. They’ve gathered a notable amount of national recognition for their efforts.
