Thanks ESPN for jinxing us and now guaranteeing pitting. Maybe sports illustrated can put the team on the cover of an issue, or bring game day to Pittsburgh.
Actually the worst would be giving us a night game. I can only remember winning 2 Saturday night games (vs ND and VT Fitz) at Heinz
I would be happy with 9-3 and a bowl win, 10-3 but looking at the schedule we are capable of winning them all.
I think anything less than 9-3, with our current record and remaining schedule, would be a big disappointment. I could see us going 1-1 in the next two games but I don't see any games we should lose in the following five. I just assume another loss in there somewhere. I could see us being 7-2 going into the UNC game and losing that one.
Well, I said 12 - 0 before the season started.I said 7-5 before the season so I'll stick with that.
Losses to:
Clemson
UNC (still hard to picture us beating them)
Miami (same)

SMF doesn’t get probability 101….2 toughest games left according to them:
vs Clemson (54.5% chance)

There’s a big difference between being favored in each game and being projected to win them all.
Honestly, I think the same thing. And typically I roll my eyes at your predictions.
Speak for yourself.Thanks ESPN for jinxing us and now guaranteeing pitting. Maybe sports illustrated can put the team on the cover of an issue, or bring game day to Pittsburgh.
7-5 could happen. But that is 3-4 down the stretch against a soft schedule. I think the coaching seat would have to be red hot if we do that with this offense and QB.
Espn actually has us favored in each game but with a median outcome of 9.8 wins.2 toughest games left according to them:

I still don't feel like our running game is good enough for the offense to carry us to an 11-1 season. Some defensive coordinator is going to figure out that they should play the nickel package the whole game because our running game deserves little respect, that they need to be double teaming Addison, and that they must come up with ways to pressure Pickett and get him out of his comfort zone. Once somebody does that, can Mack and the other receivers save the day and lead us to continue the big scoring numbers? Can the O-line and other blockers get the running game going somehow if the defense is playing with an extra DB? Can the defense win a game for us by keeping the opponent's scoring low? Those are big questions in my mind.This is the year. This is the chance. We can change the Pitt narrative this year. A high powered offense can erase a lot of blunders. On defense we used to have to play a near perfect game to win which is never sustainable not even for Alabama. College offenses are too good now, but with this offense and a much better defense than our high powered Matt Canada offense had we can actually compete. There are alot of over ranked teams with crappy offenses that are going to get exposed soon. Locally it also helps that the Steelers suck so people are more inclined to tune into a high powered winning football team. Slide over folks I feel some bandwagon passengers about to board.
Look no further than the GT game. Their defense is essentially a nickel defense and Pitt ran the ball on them reasonably well (at least well for Pitt).I still don't feel like our running game is good enough for the offense to carry us to an 11-1 season.

I have seen Pitt as high as 2. but these are hilarious.

We would be 12-1 with the ACC championship win. If that happens, Pickett is likely a Heisman finalist and TV ratings like offense, which could potentially put Pitt at 4 (68% chance of making it if that happens per playoff simulator). A 2 loss SEC team is out and I think Georgia will lose to UF or maybe UK, Auburn could pull an upset, or UT or GT could pull a once a year type upset. It depends on the other one loss teams. SEC, B12, and B1G are only P5 to possibly put up undefeated teams (that can change this weekend with Oklahoma vs. Texas). B1G also has their round robin left of undefeated teams and if PSU beats Iowa, B1G will likely not have an undefeated champ. Cinci still has SMU and likely Houston. BYU could make a run, but has USC to finish the year. ND will likely have at least one more loss. Would help for UM to win the B1G and WMU to win the MAC with 10+ wins.What if we go 11-1 and either Bama or Georgia loses 2, who should get in among those 3?
That's another thing, used to be that a great player on a non TOP team could win the Heisman. When did playing for a TOP TEAM become a Heisman criteria.... Pickett is likely a Heisman finalist and TV ratings like offense,

How nice would it be if ND suffered a loss this weekend at the hands of VT. That would make our VT game the following weekend a relatively high profile matchup!ND will likely have at least one more loss.
Let's hope so! Anything to get the game off the damn ACCN.How nice would it be if ND suffered a loss this weekend at the hands of VT. That would make our VT game the following weekend a relatively high profile matchup!
Pitt fans are terrible. That's all8-4
Loss to Clemson.....either Miami or UNC and somewhere........a Pitting.
In ink......
8-4
Look ahead and we'll barely be bowl eligible. No way we go 11-1. A lot of suckers out there. Vegas makes money on people believing the last thing they saw and discounting the body of work and analytics. Sucker bet. Anybody want to bet me 11-1? I'll take the under all day long and enjoy dinner in my new house that used to be yours.
