This week in Syracuse talk

The shows spent the week celebrating Syracuse's overtime win over UNC, with hosts crediting Steve Angeli's play and Calvin Russell's talent for the comeback. One host liked Syracuse enough as an upset pick against SMU this week, pointing to Angeli's return, Ahmad Miller's rushing, and the dome atmosphere. There's also been talk that Syracuse could be looking to make a coaching change soon.
