[President Stache]

I would call that not bad and respectable.

With this schedule this year though, it will be an uphill climb

 

[ThePanthers]

Nice and well rounded by the P5 conferences too:

SEC -6
Pac 12 - 5
ACC - 4
BIG - 4
Big XII - 4
AAC - 1
Indy - 1

I think people are starting to realize it is more well rounded. Not all SEC, SEC, SEC.

 

[VAPITTALUM]

That's fair. PITT has an opportunity to make some noise early in the year. Can't wait for the season to start!

 

[HailToPitt725]

Like what was mentioned in a previous thread, if we can start 3-1 or 4-0, we definitely will be ranked, maybe even in the Top 20. A tough schedule brings a lot of challenges but also a lot of excitement. Should make for a fun year!

Jimmy even has a vote and didn't throw himself any love. Guess I have to respect that.

Using that as motivation, I guess.

Who knows with that guy...

 

[TD_istheman]

Jimmy knows, lowering expectations to ground level, then winning 7 or 8, makes him look like he over achieved. Jimmy is a hustler if nothing else

Exactly. He's no dumba$$. He was doing the exact same thing with the bogus negative recruiting insinuations.
