Pitt vs WVU in the Russell Athletic Bowl?

More interesting than most match-up options.
Sporting News is projecting TCU vs. FSU in the Russell Athletic Bowl and Pitt vs. Arkansas in the TaxSlayer.

Path of least resistance to the most wins possible. Give me East Tennessee State
That is good during the season. For the bowls give me a marquee opponent. How did playing SMU and Houston work out.
Hmmmm. Havent thought of that but if FSU beats UF and UNC beats a 12-0 Clemson team, the ACC likely gets 3 NY6 bids along with ND if they win out meaning Pitt could be the top ACC team left. Normally, we dont travel well but WVU would probably sell out the stadium by themselves if we were the opponent.....and it would be great for TV.
I think it's more or less impossible for the 3 ACC teams and ND to be in the NY6 and playoff, UNLESS, somehow UNC and ND make the 4 team playoff. In that case, I could see FSU and Clemson in at large bowls. I just do not think FSU and Clemson will be at large teams if UNC is in the peach bowl. I think the Big 10/Big 12 will get at least one at large between the two of them.
There are 8 spots outside the playoff, right? Let's say UNC beats Clemson, and they playoff is say, Bama-ND-Oklahoma-Ohio St. UNC is guaranteed a spot. So is SEC, so is Big 12, Big 10, PAC 12c and non p5. So that would mean only two at large spots? Would both be filled by ACC teams? Seems unlikely.
Hoopies will be 8-4.
Their remaining schedule is dreadful. They'll be favored heavily in all three games.
We dont "normally" get to play WVU anymore. We last played them in 2012... and won't play them again until 2022.
It was December 1, 2007.... not December 2.
As a Pitt fan, you are expected to know 13-9 Day by heart. 12-01-2007.
Agreed to an extent. I wouldn't mind playing arkansas...as long as its one of the first few games of the season, they are a different team as the year goes on.
Just look at the CFP rankings. The Top 11 + American Athletic champ go. If UNC beats Clemson, the ACC is guaranteed 2 spots in Top 11 cuz Clemsok aint falling from 1 to 12 with 1 loss. So, it just leaves FSU. They are 14 now. A win at UF pushes them over UF, and into the Top 11 more than likely.
This is the first thread in Pantherlair history with contributions from Stringer Bell and Omar Little. Waiting for Marlo to weigh in.
