Sagarin'a computer now says Pitt is

If Michigan, Texas, or USC had Pitts resume they would be ranked top 20.

Like the great Beeno Cook used to say...."PITT doesn't have the material"

Its all perception with PITT still. They stunk for the past 5-7 years...Voters will come, ask Bernie Sanders

Sagarin also had MSU losing to UM by 20. LOL! :)

Also, Pit should easily be a top 20 right now. Only loss a last second FG on the road to a 7-0 Iowa team. Quality road wins at VT and GT.

By the human polls, you are correct. But the computer would not because it uses strength of opponents and margin of victory as factors. Since our results are relatively close games vs--

#101 Youngstown State +7
#113 Akron +17
# 14 Iowa -3
# 51 Virginia Tech +4
# 76 Virginia +7
# 46 Georgia Tech +3

--the computer has no basis to rank us higher than #35. The close Iowa loss helps us probably as much or more than the 4 wins do to get us to #35.

God, I certainly hope you are not comparing Pitt to Bernie "Play Not to Win" Sanders. What an insult.
 
Yes!!! The PITT Panther movement is a sleeping giant, just like Bernie and his cause!!
 
As someone I was reading yesterday said, Bernie has made these great strides to get to the point where he is 20 percent down in the current average of the polls. We all realize that if you lose an election by 20 points you've lost in a landside, right? Because it seems as if most people covering Bernie's campaign don't get that.
