Pitt's seventh win of the season, a 31-13 victory against Duke, officially ended the program's string of four consecutive six-win years under Todd Graham and Paul Chryst. More importantly, it kept the team's chances alive to still win the ACC Coastal Division.
The Panthers need a lot of help for that to happen. They need 8-1 North Carolina to lose at least two of its remaining three games. Then, Pitt also needs to defeat at least Miami or Louisville - and more likely, both of them. But for now, the Panthers will still have an outside chance to represent the Division in the conference championship game and they aren't eliminated just yet.
