It is kind of funny, but the facts are if one looks at WVU, Penn State, PITT's records the last 5 years, few should not be proud of all of us. Yet, the fans and posters all seem to think from all 3 Football Programs they have better records to be proud of, but these numbers showthat Pitt, Penn State and Wvu have all been pretty mediocre and all need vast improvements.
I just did a Top 25 AP Analysis of all Three Programs and how they did against Top 25 Ranked Teams, Bowls, and Overall Records from 2010-14.
Penn State had Major Sanctions, WVU had minor sanctions and Pitt none, but Penn State had the better record during their sanctions years than Wvu & Pitt? WVU had 2 years in the BEC and 3 in the BIG-12, while PITT had 2 years in the ACC and 3 years in BEC, and Penn State was stable in the Big Ten.
It also includes how Penn State had 4 Coaching Changes, Pitt had 3, and WVU had 2 the last Five years? Penn State 38-26, WVU went 37-27, and Pitt 33-32.
When It Comes To Playing Against Top 25 Competition: Penn State played against the most Top 25 Competition versus 15 games as well as higher ranked teams, but just won 2 games and lost 13 games? WVU played against 14 Top 25 Rank Teams and won 6 games & lost 8 games? PITT played against the least at 9 and won 3 games and lost 6 games.
In Bowls PITT went 2-3, Penn State 1-2 and WVU-1-4. Only WVU was ranked once in the Top 25 the last 5 years, Pitt & Penn State zero!
