Pitt plays in the ACC whether or not you think they are at the level deserving of recognition. They’ve upset several top foe over the last few years. Too many have called them a terrible team, but what is true is, they have power five talent, they’re just not a deep team. Obviously it has taken them a few games to become a force but as ND and Kelly found out, Narduzzi can coach; Pitt has talent. This goes for Syracuse too.
Like I pointed out after UM game, ND could lose to both PITT and Syracuse. They have speed and some talent and have good coaches.
