No. 24 Pittsburgh (3-0)
How good can Pitt's offense be? That's the overriding question for the Panthers and it might be the difference between a good team and a special one. There's little doubt that the defensive front, led by Rashad Weaver and Patrick Jones, is among the best in the country, but Kenny Pickett and the offense still have some huge question marks. Pitt settled for field goals too often in Saturday's win, and the receivers continued to come up short when they needed to make a play. Still, there's time for the unit to work its way into a better form moving forward, with its next two games against teams that have struggled on defense -- NC State and BC -- before showdowns with Miami and Notre Dame to round out October. -- Hale
