When the Syracuse Orange take the field on Saturday, they'll be doing so against the undisputed No. 1 team in the nation. The Florida State Seminoles maintained their spot atop the AP Poll and reclaimed their spot atop the Coaches Poll this week. After an insane weekend, the polls look vastly different today than they did last week. It was a miserable weekend for SU fans but a really fun one for college football fans. Let's have more of the latter.
The only other upcoming Syracuse opponents in the polls this week is the Clemson Tigers, who shows up at No. 25 in the Coaches Poll. Previous opponent Notre Dame checks in at 9/8. The only other upcoming opponent that received votes is the Duke Blue Devils.
