There is a better chance Pitt will be ranked higher than PSU next week at this time.
Common opponent between us and ND is Pitt....they beat them by 5, we beat them by 45....so what does that mean?Common opponent. Rutgers. They win by 29. We win by 14.
I just double checked our scores for this year. We did beat pitt 51 - 6. I also checked our roster and pitt's roster. We only lose 2 players of note. pitt loses half their team. Also, I looked at the incoming recruits. We are having a great recruiting season. pitt is bringing in MAC level recruits. Plus next year we play them at home and Franklin hates Narduzzi and would love to run up the score. Tell me again why my post stating that "we will beat them by a larger margin next year" was a "joke of a comment"?Lmfao we just beat the worst team in the big ten as the 14th ranked team 20-7. what a joke of a comment this is
How did Pitt fare against PSU, UCF, Notre Dame? Three losses by my count...
It means ours was an uncommon victory.Common opponent between us and ND is Pitt....they beat them by 5, we beat them by 45....so what does that mean?
Next week at this time pitt will not be ranked and after playing Clemson being ranked will be an afterthought
You can book that. Pitt does not finished seasons ranked. They will be 7-6 and talking about next year

Not my point. They played a tough schedule

Take a look at 1994.I like to look at 1986 when I start to worry about margin of victory.

Pitt plays no one and we crushed them - the ACC Coastal stinks - we will hammer the, next year at home, book it. This team will much improved and will lose few starters except Trace which is a big loss but Stevens and Clifford are more than capable. We still have a better record than Pitt and will go to a better bowl - Clemson will drop a 100 on them.

I don't know why you're assuming Miami will beat Pitt. Miami is awful and Pitt beat them last year when they were allegedly good.
Pretty sure Pitt fans will gladly take 7-6 or even 7-7 after they watched them get destroyed by us 51-6.
I don't care what Pitt does against Miami but I sure as hell hope they beat Clemson. Chaos would be great.
Same thing. Didn't help us in '94. Didn't hurt us in '86. Either way, when you have a handful of people voting for a champion (and that's still what it is today) there is no way to overcome bias.Take a look at 1994.
I wouldn't bet on that one. Pitt has beaten Clemson in Death Valley. They also have a pretty good running game, which could control the clock. I know most here don't want to admit it, but Pitt has improved significantly since they played us. Not saying they'll win, but it might be more competitive than you think. Remember, Syracuse gave Clemson a good game. Pitt was able to beat Syracuse.

Why shouldn’t that be debated? Both will be 8-4, PSU has wins over Iowa and Wiscy, PSU not only won the head to head but beat them like they were a D2 team, and Pitt has beaten, um, er, um, well no one.If PSU loses to Maryland and Pitt wins, Pitt will be ranked higher, That shouldn't even be debated.

Apparently head to head shouldn’t matter.51-6. PSU is 45 points, or 6 1/2 touchdowns better.
Their schedule has gotten significantly worse since they played PSU.
As for their win in Death Valley, anyone who watched that game knows that Clemson was a far superior team who controlled almost the entire game, and just as they were about to pull away, they kept shooting themselves in the foot. Add in a few really bad calls by the officials at the end, and Pitt pulled off an upset that was unlikely to happen once, let alone twice.
Did you call it a fluke when we beat Ohio State on the blocked field goal?
Uh.... no. That’s and apples to oranges comparison. PSU was killer late in games that season, and had taken control of the game. Even if they don’t block the FG, they still likely win.
Pitt/Clemson was just a fluke after fluke after fluke.
If PSU was to be playing @Pitt this weekend, which team wins?Why shouldn’t that be debated? Both will be 8-4, PSU has wins over Iowa and Wiscy, PSU not only won the head to head but beat them like they were a D2 team, and Pitt has beaten, um, er, um, well no one.
PSU by at least three TD’s. We were 45 points better them earlier in the year....unless they brought in a whole different roster, they aren’t making up that much ground.If PSU was to be playing @Pitt this weekend, which team wins?
We win a close one.If PSU was to be playing @Pitt this weekend, which team wins?
Really? That sounds like a lot of wishful thinking.
I agree Pitt/Clemson was a non-stop parade of flukes but I don't know how anyone could say we "still likely win" without the block FG
Miami blows. They aren’t beating anyone.
