This is a dreadfully awful take, but shouldn’t be surprising coming from the dude who said Cignetti ran the same offense as saban at Alabama.
If we win @ UVa

It will be exceedingly difficult for Pitt to score more than 60 against UVA. We're going to have to play the best lock down defense we're capable of and count on a considerable number of 3's to have a chance against UVA.
takes like this are why i don't go on the football board. I deal enough with the mentally ill that SMF is all I can take.
We have 2 chances to win.
1. UVa is off and we win 48-46
2. We go crazy from 3. Hinson goes like 8-14 and we win 62-58
Wow. When did Virgina get so good? I must have missed it.
They blew out a mediocre Miami team on a night when the Canes were dreadful. Virginia ain't all that.

Pro-style multiple.
You're going to find out the Jimmy and Joes are more important than the Xs and Os. We're entering an era where Pitt can't compete at a very high level unless big money gets involved.
The football board is usually a waste of time. As long as they can redirect their NIL money to basketball.
Bumping this now that it happened. I believe its possible that Pitt can lose 2 more games and get in but it would have to be the right losses.
Absolutely need at least a split of Wake/Clem. If we split those and win the rest, we are in, no question I believe. That would give us 3 Q1 wins or 4 if Wake moves back into the Top 30.
If we split Wake/Clem and lose a Q2 game at BC or home vs VT, I still think its possible we get in but it may require AT LEAST winning that 5/12 or 6/11 game or even winning that game + beating the 3 or 4 seed in the quarters.
If we lose to Wake and Clemson, we probably need to win the rest + make it to AT LEAST the ACC semis and maybe even to the Championship.
If we beat Wake and Clemson, we can probably lose 2 more in the regular season and get in.
The huge wildcard in Pitt's favor though is road wins. The committee always says they value road wins but this isnt a metric I can say that I know how much it impacts selection. Incredibly, of all the Power 6 teams, Pitt currently is tied for 1st with 6 road wins and you figure they'd have to chalk up a few more if they are even considered to be on the bubble.

I agree with most of this but not the empty Pete. It was the hottest ticket in town. Steelers were regularly in sideline seats.
I miss the days when 4-3 from here on out would be a guarantee for the tournament. 20-11 (11-9)... 21-12 if you win an ACCT game. Shoot, you'd probably be no worse than a 10 seed either, and even that is likely low-balling it. Crazy how fast it all changed.
