So you are saying there is no difference between P5 schools and non P5 schools. The point I'm trying to make is PoSU has played NO OOC opponents who have played P5 schools. PoSU's OOC schedule which includes Temple, Buffalo, SDSU, and Army have played NO P5 schools except PoSU. And you say that is equal to Pitt's?
Dude, you are a PoSU fan trying to make points on a Pitt board. Who is the one that is arguing? For 30 years Pitt fans have known what they have while you PoSU fan live in a delusional world. This year we can see we may finally have something. I can't say what is going to happen from here on out, but so far I like what I see.
And there is NO WAY you can compare schedules. If anything, I would say you have the edge in conference, maybe. You have OSU and MSU to give you that prize. But your OOC schedule is a complete joke and there is absolutely NO comparison. If you can't see that then you are a typical nitter who can't see anything that isn't colored blue and white. I'm sorry Paterno lied to you all those years, but it's kind of your own fault for making him and PoSU football your identity and your life.

And the point I'm trying to make is that there are 12 games on the schedule. As a whole, the schedules are not much different.
On the road. What other P5 team has played 5 out of 7 road games? Remember your standard for the great Amos Alonzo James Franklin at Vandy? Well doesn't the same get applied to Narduzzi at Pitt?
But since you can't follow a conversation, you fail to understand that PA is north of FL..hence "up there" in case you still don't get it.
Umm.....I started this thread and had no intention into turning it into a PSU/Pitt referendum. If you would reread the OP, you would find that with Pitt winning, I don't care about PSU losing as much.
To bring this thread back to the OP’s comments…..yes I am much more tuned into what we are doing and less what some other team is doing.

Vandy? Are you really going to compare Pitt's program to Vandy? Pitt was night and day a much better program than the dumpster fire Franklin took over at Vandy. Pitt could have very easily won 4 or 5 more games last year (Iowa, Duke, UNC, Akron, Houston)
Yes. You don't understand my point do you. No worries, just dream of Lane Kiffen, he's dreamy.
Then you need to learn the correct grammar protocol. Besides, reading your ignorance and stupidity is not something I enjoy following. It's sad when states like Texas and Oklahoma and even West Virginia can make fun of your state because of people like you and your fellow fans.
You know any time you start a thread having anything to do with PoSU, their message board police will be over here to defend them no matter what the topic is. Of course we can't go over there and voice our opinions because anything we say that doesn't agree with their brainwashing protocol, we get banned.
I have said all along all 3 Programs are average to good Teams this year. The rest of the year will determine who can go from average to good to very good. The Schedules are even becoming more even as each Team is now facing 2 Top Ten Teams each.
WVU:
At the start of the season, WVU had a far tougher schedule and Top Heavy with many Teams in the Top 25, but that has gone down since with just 4 remaining. I used to think WVU had the better Team more than Pitt or Penn State but that has changed. Still, it is yet to be determined now that Texas, Kansas, ISW and UMD are below average as KSU and Texas Tech have been inconsistent and fallen below expectations. Liberty and Georgia Southern are not that bad, but still not even FBS Teams. WVU losing to OU, OKSU, Baylor, and now upcoming TCU will reveal how good they are becoming or cannot become soon. Still, looking at 6-6 or 7-5? The Big-12 has 4 Very Good Teams to 2 Great Teams so far? WVU is in between Good to Average! Just my opinion, but Boosters want Holgrosen out!
Penn State:
At the start of the season they only had 2 Teams that were consider Great Teams in the Big Ten. No one expected Temple to be ranked, nor Michigan but me. I also thought Penn State would be much better as they improved but that has not happen so far. NW is now added as Good Team. So, Until Penn State plays NW, MSU and Michigan, they are average to potentially being good. Rutgers, UMD, Indiana are by no means even average or good. Army, SDSU, Buffalo are below average. Illinois can still be below average to average. If Penn State loses 3 of the last 4 games they are simple below average to average for this year. If they win 2 of 4 the can be above average to and win teh Bowl to good, in my opinion! The Lions are playing 2 Great Teams in OSU, MSU, and 3 Very Good Teams in Michigan and NW and Temple, almost all others are Below Average.
Pitt:
Pitt is playing the most balance schedule so far. They started the season with more Average to Good to Very Good to 2 Great Teams. But their season is yet to be determined as well as WVU & Penn State. YSU and Akron are not FBS or Power Conference Teams but on the level of Liberty and Ga Southern, yet better than Army, SDSI, and Buffalo. Iowa is the surprise here and Pitt played them better than WVU played OU and Baylor. OKSU and Iowa may be equal depending how they turn out but Pitt is ahead right now on that one. Penn State did not come close to playing Temple or OSU as well as Pitt played Iowa. VT, UVA, and Cuse are Average Teams as GT can go from Average to Good. They all played tougher schedules than Penn State so far and less than WVU. Still, UNC, ND, Duke, and Miami remain and so although Pitt is a Good team being ranked right now just like NW, that has yet to be determined and is an average to Good to very Good to possible Great Team. Penn State chance of being a Great Teams are more slim but only by wins over MSU & Michigan and beating NW & Illinois.WVU chances are gone.
In closing if Pitt and Penn State can win their last 4 and 5 games they will be both Great teams in my opinion. If they lose all 3 or 4 or 5, they will be Average. Everything else will be in between. All yet to be determined?

I'm not the one telling others to learn how to read Jethro. I read one post and there were two sentences in that post. Since you didn't reference your other posts, it would be read as one thought.
I'm also not the one on other team's message boards defending everything Pitt because my feelings are hurt. That would be you.

Everywhere.
Recruits. No need to hate on the SEC. Its easily the best thing college football has to offer by almost any metric imaginable.

I usually work til 1:30 so yes, I'm going to be awake at 3 A.M. (I know, way past your bed time.) As for you being the grammar nazi now that's hilarious. After reading more of your posts, I'm convinced you are a little kid. Then you make this post and spell GRAMMAR wrong. Feel free to keep making yourself look like a moron for as long as you want, I need a good laugh.
I pulled the grammar card because you said I couldn't read. I was pointing out that your post did not reference any other posts, so I read it exactly as I saw it. But of course you didn't get the point.
Well now that's t
We'll now that's the beauty of message board threads...they are like having a continuous conversation....no need to include all your previous posts each time you add a new one to the thread. There is an expectation that you read the thread you are posting to.

I get you. But you have to admit it is hard to get through all the insults, name calling, ignorance and bitching. I usually try to skip over all of it, which makes you miss quite a bit. I try to post with civility, its easy when others do. Its much harder when they don't.
As long as it is okay to mention that half of franklin's wins have been against coaches that were not there at the start of the season.
Also how does that one point victory against Maryland look?
Final question...does a Maryland Illinois matchup pit two of the worst 10 Power 5 teams together?
Finally UPS has some tough games coming up. They should lose all 3 but if they can win 2 out of 3 then that would be impressive.
Penn State would not be a good matchup for Pitt this year and that is what College Football is all about.
Penn State has a very good to great defensive line that generates pressure on almost every pass play and limits the run. They do a good job of shutting down teams without running quarterbacks. I think we would struggle to move the ball on them and point points on the board. It is a game where we would be better off playing Voytik. I also think their running back would gash us at times and their receivers make plays and high point balls. I think it'd be difficult for us to win this year.

I wonder what bowls have tie-ins with ACC and B1G. I thought the Pinstripe was the only one which would eliminate our chances of playing them because they will not have Penn State back to back years.
Yes, that is absolutely OK.
Neither Pitt nor PSU has anything close to an impressive win. Neither is a Top 25 team. But I do believe both have better days ahead.
UVA wins looks better too! The ACC is full of 6s to 7s Teams, Penn State Schedule isn't and beating a One Passing Offense Team with No Defense ain't nothing to brag about!
Penn State is not a bad team, but people are just overlooking the fact that their schedule is a joke. Just because they showed up and ran out of the tunnel at Ohio State doesn't mean you have a good schedule. They play a few games like that and almost every other game is against a team that can barely compete with any team that has a head coach and 22 players to line up and play.
I never called them a bad team, but they have had bad coaching with a bad schedule? I think Penn State, Pitt, and WVU are all very even right now?
All 3 Teams can prove they have become better this season by beating ND, Duke, Ulou and Miami, NW, Michigan and MSU, and Texas Tech, Texas, KSU, ISU and Kansas!
We shall see what Coaches & Teams can do or not do it? WVU has played the Best in the Big-12 and Pitt and PSu with to play better Teams in the ACC ND-Duke, and Big Ten MSU-Michigan?
My bad, I didn't mean to make it sound like I thought you said that. I was just making a general statement that they're not a bad team, they just play a bunch of awful teams. A win is a win, you can't just say they don't play anybody they're no good. But I'll be shocked if they reach the Top 25 still because I don't think you can go as far as calling them that good, because they haven't beaten anybody that's even a mediocre team.
