NCSU has a nice quasi rivalry with Clemson.I believe N.C. State has beaten Clemson twice since 2016.
Dabo, his staff and the Clemson players are definitely more concerned with the Pitt game now than they once were. No question they now will always think of Pitt as a dangerous opponent where they’ll need to bring their A-game.How many ACC schools (heck, any school) can say they’ve beaten Clemson twice since 2016? I think there’s a mutual respect developing that will likely grow as we play more often with the updated conference scheduling.

I don't think big dogs like Clemson are that concerned with their opponents as much as they are about execution. If they take care of their business they should beat just about every team in the nation. Definitely no where near a rivalry on either side.Dabo, his staff and the Clemson players are definitely more concerned with the Pitt game now than they once were.

I don't believe they have. They should have beat them in 2016, but they didn't. That dude missed a field goal in a monsoon.
Not sure what your point in interjecting PSU and WVU is, but you’re right, like Pitt, they don’t have legit conference rivals now-and all 3 programs and fanbases are the worse for it.Who it’s west Virginia’s rival in the big 12?
Who is penn states rival in the big 10?
Exactly
Pretty sure Clemson doesn’t see it that way. They have a traditional rival in South Carolina and they get to play them every year. They’ve been playing and hating the $hit out of each other for 120 years. As it should be.NCSU has a nice quasi rivalry with Clemson.

Bro…..If Pitt wins a second straight ACC championship this coming season and continues to contend for the championship -staying in the top three on a regular basis - things will work out beautifully with lot’s of ACC teams wanting to claim they are Pitt’s rival. Even Clemson would start looking at Pitt as a rival at that point.
Okay, then. Settled.Pretty sure Clemson doesn’t see it that way. They have a traditional rival in South Carolina and they get to play them every year. They’ve been playing and hating the $hit out of each other for 120 years. As it should be.

Who would think otherwise?Pitt and UNC have played in a lot of close games but ask any UNC fan which loss was worse the Pitt loss or the N.C. State loss they will tell you N.C. State was way worse.
I'm 100% opposite. I don't find them to be hostile at all and find the best rivalries are mutual respect or genuine dislike because a team stands in your way. I have Pitt and Steelers season tickets and when the Ravens or Patriots are on the schedule there is an extra gear for that game, more buzz in the stadium and often a playoff-like atmosphere. Bigger crowds too with more energy from start to finish. You don't get that when the Seahawks or Texans roll into town.Sports “Rivalries” are kind of like politics today. They’ve grown really ugly, and definitely more hostile. As such, I really don’t mind that Pitt hasn’t developed any particularly hateful enemies in the ACC. Contrary to the beliefs of some, it IS possible to enjoy games without seething hatred for the fans of their opponent. The increasing need during sporting events to keep one’s head on a swivel for three hours due to the risk of projectiles (or even fists) striking it from behind should not be anyone’s idea of entertainment. I enjoy my teams kicking the tails of its opponents, and certainly enjoy some more than others, but I’m able to leave it behind when the game ends and get on with life pretty effectively.
I think it is a two way rivalry. Just not "the" rivalry for either team.Virginia Tech is the game I get the most fired up for, but I don't think it's a two-way rivalry. Other than that it's just a bunch of teams we play in the division.

Unfortunately we’ve always polluted the bed on the occasions we’ve played Miami with important stakes. We’ve won a couple, but only when we have stunk and they woefully underestimated us. Certainly nice to win but other than the brief satisfaction, the win meant nothing, at least for us. Both teams need to be in the running for something, at the very least the conference championship and ideally better as far as the national picture. Play a few games like that (without the results being one sided) and rivalry will develop quickly.It seemed the ACC set us up with Miami by scheduling us last 6 times in the 10 years we've been in the conference (including this year). Personally I wish it would happen. We have similarities.
Dead on the nose. generally Miami has had more talent. Most of those games the Canes either crushed us like bugs or watched us flail while they held us off with one arm and held a Cuban sammich with the other. There were a few times when I was certain the U deliberately played vanilla ball and still won decisively. When we've had to go toe to toe, mano y mano... well, you get results like last year. Rinse and repeat. When Pitt can start beating Miami more often, the program will have cranked up a few notches. Miami is the yardstick opponent, just as Notre Dame was Miami's measuring stick in the 1980s.Unfortunately we’ve always polluted the bed on the occasions we’ve played Miami with important stakes.

Except we wo t play them every year with the new format. I’d say Virginia tech has the best chance now being one of our three rivalriesA Pitt-Miami rivalry would be huge for both programs and the ACC.
It would've been huge for the BE as well but.............
Everything is set up for both teams.
Yeah, that sucks. I love our division. The ACC is stupid for blowing things up just as they are starting to gel.Except we wo t play them every year with the new format. I’d say Virginia tech has the best chance now being one of our three rivalries
