Here's a top-25 preseason ranking from a national news source placing Pitt in the top-25.
Opponents who also placed:
Clemson #3
UNC #21
OkSt #23
A note on teams outside his top-9: "After that, my confidence level dropped a couple more rungs, but we know from experience that several currently unsung teams will finish the year in the Top 10." No mention of Ped State, so reports from the farms of their rebirth are still greatly exaggerated.
