‘Cuse is off to its first 4-0 start since the 2018 season and is on the precipice of its best start to a season in 35 years. The last time a ‘Cuse team began the season 5-0 came in 1987.

The ranking continues a strong trend for Syracuse fall sports teams, which currently has four programs represented in the in their respective polls and will likely add a fifth later this week. In addition to football, the ‘Cuse men’s soccer team is ranked No. 3 in the nation, the field hockey team is ranked No. 11, men’s cross country checks in at No. 20 and the women’s cross country team is receiving votes.
