I think the most important thing State can do to get in the Dance is to achieve at least a .500 ACC record. Six games vs Duke, UNC and UVA plus Louisville and Syracuse will be difficult. But this tough schedule will also give the Pack plenty of chances to get to or above .500 in the league.
As far as Syracuse is concerned, it’s unlikely CBS and the NCAA would exclude the Orange if they were a bubble team. The importance of star power for tv was pretty clear to me in Ohio State’s selection as the last one in on football selection Sunday.
