Regular comments contributor, B.B. notes that Tony Meija at Sportsline is also picking Pitt, 17-12. Of course, he is also picking Syracuse over Cinci; Ohio St. over NC St.; Auburn over LSU; and Maryland over WVU.

ESPN Insider (subscription) for picking college football, Rich Podolsky, didn’t pick the Nebraska-Pitt game, but did have this to say about it.

Pitt is very young and is trying to shore up its bullfighter defense against the running game this year. Nebraska showed a power running game last week despite the move to the West Coast offense, but also displayed a very unstable quarterback situation. If Nebraska loses again this week, new coach Bill Callahan shouldn’t open the Sunday papers.

I read that to mean he has no clue how this game will go. He also picked Syracuse, and marked NC State as a “best bet” to win.
