As the spread approaches four touchdowns and the national consensus borders on unanimity, Pitt’s Saturday night date with Clemson seems to have an inevitable outcome:

The Tigers, ranked No. 2 in the nation and considered Alabama’s stiffest competition in the College Football Playoffs, are expected to face little resistance from the Panthers in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte.

As for Pitt, the players and coaches aren’t necessarily playing the disrespect card. Rather, it’s more of a disregard.

“I don’t know exactly for every game, but I know for most of the games this year, people have us not winning,” redshirt senior fullback George Aston said Wednesday. “So we really are used to it and really don’t care what anyone else says or thinks.”

After the way the Pitt offense played at Miami last Saturday I do believe the "disrespect card" should be front and center. If Watson trots out that same gameplan from the Miami game(and I do believe he will do so) I don't see how Pitt could even score in double digits this week.
