October 22nd.

[UPitt '89]

16th-ranked Oklahoma 66
Unranked Texas Tech 59


The following week, Oklahoma was ranked 15th.


People who think Pitt's 76-61 win hurts their chances to move up the rankings don't get it. It's not 1970 anymore.

21. Pitt
22. Louisville
23. VT
24. GT

Start making Orange Bowl plans.

FSU will win tonight and go to the Orange.

FSU will win tonight and go to the Orange.

Tell me why 9-3 FSU, whose best wins are over Florida, Miami, and South Florida (and 5-7 or 6-6 Ole Miss) has a better resume than 8-4 Pitt with wins over Clem, PSU, GT....and 9-3 Louisville, who only has 1 good win but its over FSU.

FSU will be ranked higher, have a better record, and will get the Orange over Pitt.

Had Pitt won one more game, that might be different.

But FSU with a win tonight will be ranked around 12th. The Orange will be theirs.
