We have "valuable losses," unfortunately. This keeps us out of the top portion of the rankings, as it should. Alabama has some very good wins. So does Texas A. & M. We have some decent wins and some wins over lousy teams. So as of now, we're about where we belong.

And yes, I agree with you completely on this weekend: We need to batter Pittsburgh. They're a lower ranked team than us, and if we are truly #9 in the nation, we should show it this weekend. Lose, and we simply don't belong on the playoff conversation anymore.
