Yes, I am blatantly stealing this idea from Nunes. Too good not to do an info-dump version for Pitt.
The final year for Pitt in the Big East. Next year, it’s the ACC. So, time to take a historical look at the most played teams, the past and future. The list is of the teams Pitt has played 20 or more times.
Most Played Teams in Pitt Football
1. West Virginia: 104, 61-40-3. Like it or not, you know at some point the Backyard Brawl will be played once more.
2. Penn State: 96, 42-50-4. Unless this resumes as a full-time series.
3. (tie) Notre Dame: 67, 20-46-1. Sadly, this is not the most lopsided historical record on the list.
3. (tie) Syracuse: 67, 34-30-3. You would think both sides would care more about this series, as within the next 5 years or so Pitt will be their most played opponent and Cuse remains a top-3. Yet you would be hard pressed to find a fan on either side who circles this game on the calendar.
