| Bank_Gothic | 9 | I'm still too high on Pitt, and their undefeated record is more about a lucky win over Virginia Tech, but I'm just really enjoying this team's brand of football. I won't apologize for having them where I do because I think they're the second best team in the ACC and the late October game against Miami is going to be great. |

| dukemetoo | 11 | Great win on Friday night. I am debating how to treat them when their QB is now out for the season with an ACL tear. A win over a 4-0 Virginia Tech team is a good win though. I am giving them too much of the benefit of the doubt, but I can change later. If they keep winning, they will stay here. |

| Doogitywoogity | 17 | Hate that they lost their qb, hopefully the backup will keep the train moving along. That was a huge win over VT though, but I’m a bit cautious until we see this new (veteran) qb slot in with this squad as the starter when teams are expecting him. UNC may be a challenge but BC should be easy. All before going to Miami. No pressure |

| sgtshenanigans | 19 | Pitt is undefeated and needed a missed field goal from Virginia Tech to win the game and that missed field goal looks like it might have actually been good. Pitt wins by the smallest of margins and shoots up from just unranked to here based on their currently undefeated season. However, their starting QB is injured so they might not be here long. |

| Maladroit44 | 22 | The winner of the unranked, undefeated ACC jamboree was always going to earn a spot, but Pitt's appearance here also has to do with UCF looking like a marginally more impressive win after the Knights almost took down Houston. (They didn't...but they could've!) I'm skeptical of the Panthers for a number of reasons, but they deserve the benefit of the doubt until they probably lose by 20+ at Miami in a few weeks. |

| Isthmus11 | 17 | 5-0, I personally think they were lucky to escape that VT game as I do think VT outplayed them pretty significantly and that last field goal really looked like it was in, but at the end of the day they lost their starting QB and found a way to dig themselves out of a big hole and won in a pretty electric atmosphere against a VT team that I still think is really good |

| quantum_jedi | 17 | (51.36, +9) Incredible ending to one of the most entertaining games of the year so far. Pitt gets a huge road win over the Hokies and now heads back home with UNC coming to town next. |

| _THE__BOULDER_ | 22 | A tough-fought win over Virginia Tech on Friday made for an extremely entertaining game in my opinion, with Pitt emerging victorious in a 35-33 win that came down to a missed 36 yard Field Goal in the final seconds of the game. While Pitt's SOR is high at #9, their relatively close wins over UCF, Syracuse, and now VT do have me a bit curious if they can keep it up. In this case, I think Pitt is possibly the best out of the second group of "undefeateds" that I discuss in my rationale but, unfortunately, Pitt does not play Duke or Nebraska this year. |
