Pitt faces Rice today at home in what is likely the Panthers' easiest game left on the schedule. If you're Pitt and trying to make a bowl game, in other words, this one is an absolutely must have. Pitt will have a difficult haul to get to six wins, anyway, but things don't get any easier going forward. This is a layup the Panthers simply can't afford to blow.
