#StayHealthy and practice social distancing Whether you think this was a case of Pitt being same ole inconsistent Pitt or not, NC State was the better team today in their upset victory.

College football always has been hard to predict. Outside of No. 1-ranked Clemson and No. 2 Alabama attracting 5-star recruits like lemmings to tip the talent scales, it’s easy to overestimate or underestimate teams. And that’s in a normal season, without a COVID-19 pandemic. All routines – football coaches, like generals, love regimentation — have …

Each year they seem produce at least one high quality win – 2016 #3 Clemson, 2017 #2 Miami, 2018 #23 Virginia, and 2019 #15 UCF. …
