I really think Syracuse is getting undervalued. A lot of wins against teams with winning records and bowl teams, a prolific passing attack, and a win over Miami.

Eight bowl eligible victories, and Syracuse is one of the most underrated teams in the country. Flipping the ACC on its head, they’ve got two wins over ranked teams, including one on the road. A great season in Fran Brown’s first year.

(9-3) - The citrus fruits of upstate New York have some questionable losses (possibly the most of any team I have ranked), but I did have them ranked in the final week of the regular season account of their earlier win over UNLV and they demonstrated that they deserve to get a shout in the top 25 with a great win over fan unfavorite Miami. Quality wins: Georgia Tech, @UNLV, Miami

(-1) Syracuse beating Miami likely is the reason Miami and Alabama are out while Clemson, and maybe SMU, are in the playoff. Fran Brown has done a tremendous job with this 'Cuse team and they get one more opportunity for a 10-win season against Wazzu in the Holiday Bowl.
