Pitt should be ranked


Nov 14, 2018, 3:12 PM

1. Coming off of 3 wins in a row
2. 3 losses coming from ranked teams 2 of which are top 11 including a 1 possession game to ND.
3. Wins over #12 Syracuse and (at the time) #25 UVA at UVA.

Compared to #21 Miss State
1. (at the time) Lost to unranked UK and UF, then getting embarrassed by Alabama and LSU each game with 1 or less scoring drive. (although Alabama clearly was the refs favorite team that day)
2. Coming off of a shut out loss and 169 yard peformance
3. Best win is 6-4 Auburn because the were ranked at the time although they've been a train wreck since they're still getting credit for this.


Why wouldn't Pitt get the benefit of the doubt in being in a 1 possession game against ND if Miss State gets the benefit of the doubt by not getting "blown out" by Alabama? Also 8-2 Boise in over 7-3 Duke is a bit of a mystery too if the committee claims they care about strength of schedule as BSU has only beaten 1 P5 team and that's BYU at home.

I disagree with any 6-4 ranked teams right now. Heck ranking UAB as #25 would be hilarious for them entering college station to take on an unranked A&M... but that would give the SEC another ranked OOC win....

I would rather give Army some credit for being 8-2 than recognizing "good losses".

Pitt is absolutely playing well right now but its tough to ignore their performances against Penn State, UCF, and a terrible UNC team. They will crack top 25 with two wins before ACCCG

Wasn't hard for the committee to ignore UK's loss against a horrible Tennessee team that whooped up on them for their 2nd big loss in a row.

Yeah but, "It means More" UK, MISS St, Aub, and LSU all living on reputation and conference. Miss State is mediocre at best, A&M is meh... Only reason it was even close is Jimbo knowing us very well, and we not having a clue about his team, plus two very crazy bounce passes. Outside of Bama and UGA there are literally no other actual good teams in SEC IMO. LSU is probably pretty fair, but one dimensional. They got WAY too much credit by beating a rather bad Miami Team, while Pitt, Syracuse and BC never really get much traction.
