PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pitt learned very quickly about the cruelties of early season college football.
One week, you’re one of the best teams in the country. The next week, you’re just another unranked team trying to win a game and make an impression on the voters.
The Panthers, No. 15 in The Associated Press preseason poll, tumbled out of the Top 25 on Tuesday in the aftermath of their 27-24 overtime loss to No. 20 Utah.
Pitt was punished somewhat for playing such a difficult opener – an easy win over a nondescript opponent would have preserved its national ranking – but coach Dave Wannstedt knew in advance what he was getting into.
