Pitt Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Panthers miss from the ACC slate?

There’s no Clemson, and there’s no NC State. That’s a good start, and not having to play Miami might be a huge deal. However, it’s not all good with Georgia Tech and Virginia – two of the teams likely to be rebooting a bit this year – not on the slate.

Pitt Football Schedule What Really Matters

They have to play Notre Dame in South Bend.

That’s bad, but even worse is that it’s part of a second half run of three road games in four weeks and four in the final six games. There’s no big break of getting Florida State in Pittsburgh in late November – that’s November 4th.

However, it’s a tad quirky with the Syracuse game being played in Yankee Stadium – sort of a neutral site, even though it’s supposed to be a more pro-Orange crowd – but it’s still away from home. Throw in the road game against West Virginia, and it’s going to be next to impossible to settle in.

Pitt Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

If Pitt is good, this schedule shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

Getting Florida State at home helps, and out of the six games away from home only the trip to Notre Dame is a massive problem.

Cincinnati is now a Big 12 team, so outside of Wofford, ever other game is against a Power Five program. Even so, six wins and bowl eligibility should be a given, and considering the relatively soft final few weeks, it’s a good slate.
