In an attempt to rebrand itself and expand its marketing base, Syracuse is tagging itself as "New York's College Team." As a former resident of the Tri-State area, I can assure you that Syracuse, which I still root for in a fetishistic kind of way because they play in a cool dome, is most definitely not "New York's Team." Truth is, New York doesn't have a college team, unless you count the Jets, which is kind of like a minor league football team, Brett Favre aside. Maybe there are stats that show otherwise. But given that the 'Cuse is some 250 miles away from NYC and 150 miles from Buffalo, I'd say that Syracuse is, well, Syracuse's team. As for Syracuse's chances this year? Hmmm. Given that they have posted a 7-28 record over the past three seasons, I'd say their chances of winning the Big East conference this year are, oh, roughly zero percent.
