Following their thrilling 38-31 win over West Virginia in the ‘Backyard Brawl’, the Pitt Panthers remain at No. 17 in the latest AP Top 25 Rankings.
Considering there many teams that lost directly in front of them, not moving anywhere in the rankings isn’t much of a surprise. However, it’s safe to say that the result either way this Saturday against Tennessee will dictate a change, either up or down.
The ACC Conference still has five teams ranked but a couple of the teams slipped down a spot or two.
