Who’s Not:
Todd Graham
Prior to the start of the 2015 season, Arizona State had the look of a rising star out of the Pac-12. And Graham was fielding all of the praise and attaboys for raising expectations and the Tempe talent pool. But then the Sun Devils disappointed by going 6-7, a downward trend that’s continued this fall. ASU suffered its fourth straight loss Thursday, getting torched for 497 yards by a middling Utah offense. With a trip to play U-Dub this week, Graham will probably need to beat rival Arizona in Tucson the day after Thanksgiving to avoid another losing campaign.

Clemson
Pitt is a talented team, but who figured the Panthers could break through against Clemson, let alone in Death Valley? However, the Tigers were a shell of their usual identity, especially on defense, where the team allowed five touchdown passes to Nathan Peterman. Plus, QB Deshaun Watson continued to flash the inconsistencies of a player who might be making a hasty decision to turn pro early. Clemson was four more wins against heavy underdogs away from coasting into another playoff. After blowing a game to Pitt, though, the Tigers are now vulnerable, especially if the Big Ten winds up with two one-loss teams.

Clemson's supposed shell of defense is to the credit of PITT's offense..

That was my exact though Chains. VT has a really good defense, and PITT hung a bunch of points on the Hokies, even after spotting them a full first quarter before PITT started to play.

Clemson is excellent on both sides of the ball, however, the scheme that PITT plays on offense will drive almost every defense nuts. It should be a shot at Clemson, rather a kudos to how well PITT has performed offensively.
