Interesting Sagarin Based Analysis

[DC_Area_Panther]

Sagarin's computer this morning has Pitt ranked #36 Nationally (#2 ACC Coastal and #3 in ACC overall).

The trend is better:

Game #1 (Virginia) Pitt performed like the current #104 Sagarin ranked team.
Game #2 (Ohio) Pitt performed like the current #44 Sagarin ranked team.
Game #3 (PSU) Pitt performed like the current #13 Sagarin ranked team,
Game #4 (UCF) Pitt performed like the current #20 Sagarin ranked team.

This shows continuous improvement and very encouraging.

However, the quantity of injuries is very worrisome.

If we sustain the level of performance of the last two games we could win out to 10-2.

ESPN now has us going 8-4

Seems reasonable if we don't lose any more important players to season ending injury.
