I'd like to believe this roster won't lose to them, this time around. But the Panthers have a real eerie tendency to upset us, under these very circumstances. We need to welcome them into the ACC, the proper way. Whereas FSU gashed them with their offense, I think we can outdo them with a defensive beat-down.

Definitely. Pitt is always a challenge, and they're probably the one team with the best claim of having owned our asses for a considerable amount of time. I hope the coaches have our guys' minds right like they did this past week. Look past no one, and exact revenge for a bad loss last year.

I'm pretty sure they have the longest winning streak against us of all ACC teams (4 in a row now). None of our 2013 opponents (Bama included) had more than a 1-game winning streak against us, and Clemson has a 3-game streak. We handed Syracuse a big L in 2003, the last time we played them.

this isn't the best timing but still you have to believe this team has a different feel about themselves. This is the first time we have been ranked through six games, the kids have worked for the ranking, I just have that feeling they will do their absolute best to prove they belong in the top 25 and really hammer pitt.

I would imagine the 2012 Pitt game would be much greater motivator than being unranked. Furthermore, I would have to believe they feel like they're the best team in the ACC, so until they're ranked higher than Clemson, the low ranking will still be a motivational factor. Congrats to the team, they deserve to be ranked.

IMO 2013 is revenge season. We crossed UNC off our list. Now its time for PITT, then Miami, then Clemson.

I hope to hell we beat Pitt, but I also hope being ranked now doesn't put in the players minds they can just walk out and win, which has happened before. This is a gritty, gutsy team and I love them for that. Just don't want to see a let down game. Time to light a fire under their @$$es.
