23. Syracuse Orange

Previous Ranking: Not Ranked

Record: 16-9 (8-4 ACC)

The Orange have stormed into the top 25 after beating both Florida State and Virginia in consecutive weeks. Syracuse is surging right now and look to take on Pittsburgh on the road for their next contest.

Andrew White has been hot lately having scored over 20 points every night during the winning streak. He remains the team’s leading scorer at 17.6 per night. Other players have been less consistent, but John Gillon, Tyler Lydon, and Taurean Thompson have all shown bursts in recent contests. Jim Boeheim’s team is rounding into classic form at the right time.
