This is Dennis Dodd’s at Sportsline. I’ll spare everyone the suspense. Louisville #1, Pitt #2.

1. Louisville: Size and speed. No school in the country has as much of each. Tailback Michael Bush is a 6-foot-3, 250-pound burner who played quarterback in high school. Joshua Tinch, 6-3, 233, is ready to take over for departed J.R. Russell as the go-to receiver. The offensive line averages 319.6 pounds

The defense finished a surprising 15th nationally. How about a 17-year-old defensive end with two years experience (Amobi Okoye)? How about a juco transfer linebacker who was one of the top players in the country coming out of high school (Nate Harris)? The only question defensively is in the secondary, where three starters have to be blended in.

2. Pittsburgh: Steel Town is jazzed about the return of homeboy Dave Wannstedt as coach. After a BCS bowl, the Panthers will be re-made a little bit on offense, as a power running team. That won’t have much of an impact on quarterback Tyler Palko. It will actually help him in play-action mode.

Unfortunately, Louisville is the new tormentor, replacing Miami. Pittsburgh doesn’t have the defense to measure up to the Cardinals’ powerful offense when the teams meet Nov. 3 at Louisville.

All the pressure is on Louisville not to spit.
