Syracuse finished the regular season with a 17-1 record and were predictably significantly better than any Big East rival when strictly looking at the statistics. There was no other great Big East team this season, which makes judging how good the Orange actually are incredibly problematic.

Interestingly, the drop-off between Seton Hall and Pitt at No. 10 and No. 11 is vast and makes the bubble here a little easier than it has in prior seasons. 

In order to determine our team rankings, we calculate the difference between a team's own FIC per game and their opponents' FIC for the entire conference season.

The FIC is a single statistical measurement that encompasses things such as scoring efficiency, rebounding, blocked shots, etc. Its purpose is to combine the box score into one statistic, both on a team level and for players.
