What these next 4 games mean

[Sean Miller Fan]

Pitt is going to be favored in 3 of the next 4 games, possibly slight underdogs still at GT. If we can somehow win them all, picture this:

#7 Notre Dame comes into Heinz to take on 7-1, 5-0 #21 Pitt, BOTH teams still alive for the CFP (though even at 12-1, Pitt probably wouldn't jump 2-loss SEC teams).

Heinz is packed, College Gameday is there. Its ABC Saturday Night Football and one of the biggest games ever at Heinz.

Win or lose, Pitt has the "Coastal Championship Game" the next week with Duke. Both teams are unbeaten and its unlikely the winner will lose 2 while those loser wins the next 2 to win the division.

And James Conner comes back for the Coastal Championship. He's cleared to play but instead of retiring from college football to train for the combine, he decides to help his teammates do something they've always talked about and leave a legacy at Pitt.

That's what winning the next 4 games could mean.

I must say though, 7-1 (5-0) I would be a little disappointed if we were only ranked 21st at that point. Other than that your scenario sounds great! Seems like the huge crowds have been beneficial the last few years against ND at home. Huge non-conference game as well considering the Irish always stealing ACC bowl games as they used to do to the Big East. IMO, if you want to be tied-in with a conference's bowls, you have to be IN THE CONFERENCE!

If Pitt Offense wakes up in UVA Game and GT Game is a win, Pitt will win 9 to 10 games! If not, Pitt will have a tough road to hoe to win 6, 7, and 8?

I am very worried about UVA but yet very confident in Coach Pat? Tough confusion!
