And getting shut out 24-0 by Alabama is apparently good enough for 6-4 Mississippi State to be #23, but getting 1230 yards on the ground in its last 3 games and winning all 3, and beating current #12 Syracuse isn't good enough for 6-4 Pitt
Pitt is ahead of the Fighting Danteens and the Those Are Some Neat Brawts 'n Taters though!
