Polls really aren't that important to us anymore. We win the BE and we are going to a BCS bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pitt loses they will fall in the polls, but they don't have to fall in the polls to loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be real surprised if WVU makes it through the Big East schedule without a loss before we play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
