Notes:

Syracuse dropped a game against BC in summer of 2007 in order to schedule a two game home and home series with USC

Home game against USC moved to East Rutherford, NJ in fall of 2009

Syracuse announced a home and home series with Minnesota, which concludes in 2012, in November 2008

!=A nola.com story published December 2nd, 2010 indicated that SU will play Tulane in a home and home in 2011 and 2012

#=An article in the Albany Times-Union published 1/27/11 indicates Villanova will open its 2012 season with a game against Syracuse, presumably to be held at the Carrier Dome.  Given that Syracuse already has commitments for 12 games in 2012,  the report comes from the high school coach of a Villanova recruit and has not been verified by another source, it is not clear this report is accurate.

*=Texas Christian University accepted an invitation to the Big East on November 29th, 2010.  They will begin conference play in 2012.  Given that the Big East has announced intentions to add a 10th team for football and given it is not known whether the Big East will play an 8 or 9 game conference schedule when the the 10th football playing member is added, it is not possible to determine whether the TCU games will be played at home or away.  It is not even possible to know if SU will play TCU in a given year.  But until a 10th football team is added and more details are made available, I am projecting the TCU games will be scheduled to provide a balanced conference schedule for Syracuse (i.e. 4 home games and 4 away games).

Notre Dame canceled a game against Army at Yankee Stadium scheduled for November 20th, 2013.  There are also rumors Syracuse could replace Notre Dame in that game.

Notes:

Syracuse plays BC at BC for a second year in a row (they play 2 games in a row in Syracuse immediately afterwards).  This means in 2018, Syracuse must schedule 3 of 4 remaining OOC games at home or only play 5 home games.  Do not expect a home game moved to the NYC area this season.
