Does Pitt get ranked this week?

[CyberBull]

How sweet would it be for 4 Big East teams to be ranked?

[E.T.]

I think too many higher ranked teams lost that will still get enough votes to kep Pitt outta the Top 25 ... but I hope they are ranked when they visit The BULL Pen.

Go BULLS !!!

It's hard to imagine them not being ranked... Pitt has a great team! I'm sure they'll be ranked by the time they get to Tamplona! Where the Bulls of the South stampede all over them!!!

It will be close.  In the coaches poll they are currently 29th.  Missouri lost, but Texas A&M could leapfrog by beating them.  Penn state should be out, FSU only beat Duke and gave up 24 points, which is only 3 fewer than Duke had scored in their previous 5 games combined so I think Pitt passes both.  Iowa and Georgia lost to really questionable teams but they are ranked 13th and 14th respectively so it'll be interesting to see how far they fall.

So, assuming Pitt stays ahead of Texas A&M that just beat an undefeated team (they are currently 31st in coaches poll), passes PSU (currently losing), and passes FSU ("bad win" against Duke), then I think Pitt would be 26th.

Big win against UCF on TV might mean they leapfrog another team, we'll see. Perhaps Virginia Tech, ranked 17th in coaches that lost badly to BC (22-3).  They were only ranked 22nd in AP poll.

Pitt is 32nd in AP poll so they would need some press leapfrogging.

Hopefully they beat Rutgers and then would for sure be ranked before they play us, but we'll see.
