Interesting factoid

[CrazyPaco]

Pitt is now the most played opponent for Syracuse (well tied with PSU as SU's most played opponent until next season).

That makes 3 different schools for whom Pitt is the most played opponent with no danger in losing that status over the next 50+ years:

WVU: 104
PSU: 96
Syracuse: 71

How many other schools out there in major college football have that many schools for whom they serve as their most played opponent? I don't know the answer to that.

I think we are up there for Notre Dame as well. I recall being their 4th most played rival about a decade ago when I was there for a game.

Hail to Pitt!

We have played UVA 120 times. The South's Oldest Rivalry is tied for 2nd most all time, of D1 schools.

We have played Wake 105 times and MooU 104 times. But Wake has played MooU 108 times.

We have played Dook 98 times, which is the most Dook has played anyone.

I know back in the early years that W&J and Carnegie Tech/Mellon played big time ball, but I never realized how many years they played Pitt.
