Pitt's ACC schedule just wasn't enough to make up for the loss to #19 Western Michigan. An ugly immediate rematch then occurs between Alabama and Georgia. I think we all would prefer Cincinnati in the 3-spot, regardless of which SEC team they play. In the end, Pittsburgh was able to finish the season #2 in the post-bowl poll.
