We won't comment extensively on each of the next five games, but just know that Pittsburgh is 1-4, Cincinnati is having big quarterback problems and South Florida has already gotten its inaugural Big East upset out of the way.
This Syracuse team says it wants to win, wants to improve each week. They say the improvement in just the last month is tremendous.
"The biggest game that hurt us was West Virginia," defensive end Ryan LaCasse said about SU's season opening loss. "If we could have that back, the outcome would be a lot different."
They can't have it back, but the Orange certainly has its shot at redemption. Five beatable opponents all in a row. Four games of quality experience under the belt. A chance to erase the early season stumbles and finish with its best Big East record since 2001.
"Our back's against the wall a little bit," Robinson said. "I think it's time. It's time to get into the Big East. Let's go."
Syracuse will go - it's just a matter of how far.
