Syracuse Football 2023 Record Predictions

How the Orange will fare this season.

The All Syracuse staff predicts Syracuse football's regular season record for the 2023 campaign. 

JOSH CRAWFORD

7-5, 2nd straight bowl game and a Mayo or Military Bowl Appearance

With one of the most experienced QBs in the league and lots of production returning on both sides, this SU squad ends the November hiccups that have perpetually tripped up Babers in his tenure. They do not snag that crucial early swing game with Hudson Card winning that matchup against Garrett Shrader, but they feast on the backend of the schedule against those mid-tier ACC teams with all five teams after the FSU game having first time starters. 

GRIFFIN DELLA PENNA

7-5 Record & Bowl Game Appearance

Syracuse reaches back-to-back seasons with a bowl game appearance for the first time in a decade. Like last season, the Orange will come out of the gates red hot and hit some turbulence at the beginning of the conference slate. However, learning from last year's second half of the season, Syracuse will turn the tides winning three of their last four games to ensure a winning season.

MIKE MCALLISTER

7-5 Record & Bowl Game Appearance

I have Syracuse starting the season 4-0, losing three straight to Clemson (though a close one), at North Carolina and at Florida State before beating Virginia Tech and going 2-2 against Boston College, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. I wrestled with predicting 8-4, because I think this team is capable of that, but I went conservative and picked 7-5. The key to me is two fold. Health, in particular with Garrett Shrader, and the play of the offensive line. 

SYDNEY SUPPLE

Record: 9-3 with their second straight bowl appearance.

If there is one thing the ACC loves to do, it is to doubt Syracuse. With the mix of experienced players and high-level transfers they can put together a special season. As long as Shrader can hold down the pass game and LeQuint Allen fills the large shoes left by Sean Tucker that most people believe he is capable of doing, the JMA Dome will be one of the hardest home stadiums to play at this season.
