Following their 21-10 win on Saturday against Syracuse, the Pitt Panthers moved up four spots to No. 21 in the latest AP Top 25 poll but that wasn’t the only national media poll that’s recognized the Panthers.
Following the Big Ten’s decision last week to start up football in October, ESPN’s released their Power Rankings which included schools from the Big 10. Keep in mind, Big Ten schools aren’t eligible to be placed in the AP rankings at this time.
ESPN senior college football writer Chris Low released his Week 3 Top 25 Power Rankings on Monday morning and Pat Narduzzi’s program is included on the list.
ESPN’S WEEK THREE POWER RANKINGS:
1) Alabama
2) Ohio State
3) Clemson
4) Oklahoma
5) Notre Dame
6) Georgia
7) Florida
8) Texas
9) Penn State
10) LSU
11) Texas A&M
12) Wisconsin
13) Central Florida
14) Miami, Fla.
15) Auburn

21) Minnesota
22) Tennessee
23) TCU
24) Kentucky
25) PittÂ
Pitt, which is 2-0 for the first time since 2016, will look to remain undefeated this Saturday when they host 1-1 Louisville. Following a stretch of games against the Cardinals, NC State and Boston College, the Panthers will face a huge two game stretch as they travel to Miami and then host Notre Dame.
They need to be 5-0 heading into Miami. Anything less will be a failure.
I see 4-1. Our OL is still weak and still give up too may deep balls because no safety help over the top. 5-0 would be nice. I hope I’m wrong!
H2P!
