In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse has a ranked football team. In the latest Coaches Poll, the Orange entered the ranking at 25th following its 22-20 win over Virginia to start the season 4-0 for the first time since 2018. 

The Orange started the season with low expectations nationally. Most believed Syracuse would win four or five games total given a difficult schedule and losing records in each of the last three seasons. However, Syracuse started the season with a statement 31-7 win over Louisville. The Cardinals had dominated the series in recent years, but the Orange controlled things right from the start. 

Syracuse followed that up with a dominant road win at UConn to set up back to back home games against power five opponents. Both of those games came down to the final drive, but the Orange was able to squeak out victories over Purdue and Virginia. Three victories against power five opponents and a 4-0 unblemished record, combined with losses for other teams previously in front of them, led to Syracuse getting the nod in the coaches poll this week. 

The Orange will look to start the season 5-0 on Saturday when FCS Wagner comes to the JMA Wireless Dome. That game kicks off at 5:00 p.m. Eastern.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
