11 Crazy Facts About the Syracuse Run to the Final Four

- The Orange are the first No. 10 seed to make the Final Four. The teams had previously been 0-9 in regional finals. Those F4 teams mentioned above were all No. 11s.

College Football Play of the Day for 11/5/11: Syracuse

Syracuse travels to UConn this week and are getting 2 points.

I don't see what an improved Syracuse team isn't the favorite.  The Orange will win the game outright.

The Orange are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss and the Huskies are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Take Syracuse and the 2 puntos.

A bonus pick this week.  How could I not make a selection in the LSU / Alabama game?

I actually like LSU getting the 4.5 points as this game should be decided by a field goal.  I'm looking forward to this one.
