The 2017 Syracuse football schedule has been released and now we know who we’ll play and when we’ll play them. Plus some other interesting stats.

To make a long story short, the Syracuse football team will have one of the toughest schedules in all of college football, yet again.

Including the 11 ACC teams that went to bowl games, no ACC team will face fewer than seven opponents that went to bowls in 2016, while eight teams will face eight or more opponents that played in the postseason with Syracuse (11) playing the most.

But specifically here’s what we have:

Get excited #OrangeNation!

Some more ACC news, notes, and quotes:

All of this information was provided by the, “Official Press Release of the ACC 2017 Schedule.” Here are some initial thoughts looking at the schedule.

Very much like the basketball team this season, the home slate is where Dino Babers and company will make or break their season. Out of the seven home games, off the bat, six of them are realistically winnable, with Clemson obviously the odd out.

While the road campaign will prove difficult. It wouldn’t be that farfetched for SU to go winless on the road. It’s hard to predict some of these things at the end of January but those are just initial thoughts.

National Signing Day is just around the corner for Dino Babers and the Syracuse football program to strengthen their odds. We’ll see how it plays out, what do you think #OrangeNation? Share your thoughts.
