Every year I pick up just about every preseason football mag. Partially out of curiosity. Partially out of boredom that comes with the June-ish dead time.
Every year, I page to Pitt’s entry first. See where they are projected in the ACC. See what is being said.
Coming off a 5-7 season, expectations have been low.
The Phil Steele preview is the biggie of course. That wonderful mix of stats, self-promotion and actual useful information tucked into the small print and vaguely comprehensible abbreviations.
He was also the harshest in projecting Pitt in their ACC finish.
