I think you schedule two P5 games and two decent non P5 games. But the problem is we can longer afford to buy D1 NON P5 teams to come play at pitt without a return game (to get that 7th home game) so hence, we have the annual FCS buy-a-win scrimmage.. It is what it is. So with that said, make the other non P5 matchup interesting. I like Cincy, im ok with temple, that Utah game a few years back was a cool matchup (they weren't in pac 10 at time), Marshall is OK, a mountain west team would be a cool road trip (San diego st, col state, fresno state. Etc..
Is it going to "move the needle?" Takes a hell of a lot to move the needle for a very fickle fan base so no, I don't think Fresno state will give pitt fans an erection but it's still an entertaining, respectable OOC game..
The real problem is pitt fans are so used to easy schedules that when we do see top 10 opponents (PSU and OK state), we think it's some sort of murderer's row that no one in college football has seen the likes of before. Talk to some SEC fans and tell them about our tough schedule, then tell them our conference schedule will consist of maybe 1 or 2 ranked teams (Maybe) and see how hard they laugh at you..
