The SI college football preview issue is apparently out now.
They rank Pitt at #60. They put Rutgers (#47) and USF (#50) ahead of Pitt. The Big East, not surprisingly is ranked 6th in conference strength.
In their bowl projections Pitt goes to the new/old Texas Bowl in Houston to play Baylor.
Darrelle Revis made their All-American team.
#60 is in the bottom half of 119 teams… We’ll be top 30 at least.

Here is my wishfull thinking for today. Since expectations were so high last year and Pitt fell on it face. If expectations are so low this year, Pitt will be the most suprising team in a BCS bowl 😉

If we end up say 9-3….we should be ranked in the top 20 by years end…not a bad thing all in all, and should jumpstart recruiting next year!

Jason might be correct in that low expectations is probably the least stressful way to go into this season as a fan.
I have to keep reminding myself that they didn’t completely suck last year, and should have a somewhat decent foundation to slip the new players into. But, if we get a 2 game improvement in the W-L column it will be a start….
